Meet Chrissy Basting, Operations Lead

What drew you to Booost?

I've worked in the DSA industry previously and everyone who knows Tim & Laura (the founders of Booost) can see that they always put the students first. Everything Booost does has the students at heart and I really wanted to become part of the team so I can support the students in their journey of overcoming their challenges.

When did you know you wanted to work in your field?

I started 'working' in Operations when I was 11 - my friends & I set up a business during the summer holidays and as everyone said I'm the organised one I naturally fell into the role of set up our processes, HR and invoicing. Unfortunately, our parents weren't too impressed that we were selling their bottles of wine & other alcoholic beverages (oops!) so they shut us down. Many years later I studied Business Management and continued on working for start ups needing organising - anything to do with processes, people & events is my thing.

What does your perfect weekend look like?

Friday evening has got to be Netflix even though I'll be asleep by 9pm on the sofa! Saturday starts with a long gym session (weights & cardio) followed by a Pilates class. Then a little bit (ok this should read lots) of shopping and catching up with friends over food or a relaxing spa visit.
