I am a happily married mature lady & mum who has worked with Novartis Pharmaceuticals for 31 years, enjoying a diversity of roles across many disease areas developing skills such as stakeholder management, leadership, influencing without authority, project management and negotiating skills. I have leveraged these skills often in my family life as I navigated parenthood & raised my son Ben to the lovely young man he is today.

Event description
Careers Fair - Lesmahagow High School
At Lesmahagow High School, the careers fair will be part of a whole month of career-focused activities, which will support pupils in making their options choices.
Lesmahagow HS Career Fairs have always been a tremendous success, with over 30 stands available for our young people to gain more information about the world of work, from universities, colleges, training providers, major national employers, local employers, and self-employed business people from the local community.
This will be the first Careers Fair the school will host since the COVID-19 pandemic, and I hoped you might be able to attend to help increase their knowledge on the variety of career opportunities open to them, and to help them appreciate the variety of different pathways into the workplace.
