As the national Co-Chair of Santander UK’s Embrace LGBT+ network, TJ worked with colleagues across Europe to help standardise policy protections for colleagues regardless of their country of employment. TJ also led an internal initiative around “The Journey to Allyship” which culminated in a candid internal interview with Baroness Nicky Morgan. 2022 has seen a focus on educative and awareness events, from a series of internal videos sharing people’s lived experiences to panel events and watch parties covering topics from Non-binary experiences, conversion therapy, politics in art and many more. TJ manages the internal “Safe Spaces” platform that she launched in 2021, providing space for colleagues to engage in conversation and peer to peer support. TJ is working with internal teams to more fully map out representation across the businesses so that focused support can be provided where needed. Outside of work, TJ is chair of a local LGBTQ+ support charity, Q:alliance. In her spare time TJ also works to address representation in literature, by working with authors and narrating stories in the LGBTQ+ audiobook world.
