Cristina Masso

Working background:

My first ever role was in summer after finishing school doing administration for the Italian consulate. I began my studies doing beauty therapy, this was ideal at the time because my family opened a beauty salon in Wimbledon village the same year. I started off doing beauty therapy in the salon which was great while the tennis was on! Although this was a fab start part-time in education, I moved to Clarins doing beauty as my first full time role.

An opportunity arose where I could travel the world assisting a global awards company. I got to travel the world and help coordinate amazing shows in places like Maldives, Zanzibar and Peru; doing everything from administration, social media, events coordination and event rehearsals. This was great as I got to stay in wonderful hotels that I would never be able to go too usually.

Your almost most-outstanding achievement:

Travelling to 15 different countries in one year

What would you cook if I came round for dinner?

Probably a M&S microwave meal – I cannot cook to save my life

Where should we go on holiday?

Zanzibar

If you could take one thing into space, what would it be:

My TV so I could keep up with my Netflix series and sparkling water to stay hydrated

What’s the one thing you haven’t confessed to your parents?

That their cooking is not the best
