How I ended up at RAMM
After 6 years of working for a local estate agents I decided I needed a complete change. When I was a child I either wanted to be my primary school secretary (she had a glass office and a safe in the floor which at the time I thought was the coolest thing ever!) or to work at the Museum, so when this role became available I jumped at the chance to apply.
Best part of my job
Working in the Museum I used to love visiting when I was a child. After over 20 years of office based experience there is always something new to learn at the Museum. The collections on display and the exhibitions are constantly changing so it always seems fresh and new. The team’s commitment and enthusiasm makes every day different and great fun. I have also loved seeing how the Museum has developed and grown over the years (I joined in 2003) into one of the City’s most visited and loved attractions.
