Outside of XSEM

Outside of work, Harriet enjoys bouldering and embraces the challenge, focus and problem-solving that the sport requires. Whether she’s tackling a new route at an indoor climbing centre or working towards a personal goal, she enjoys the balance of physical activity and mental challenge that bouldering provides. It offers a great opportunity to switch off from the fast-paced world of events, stay active and spend time with friends.
