The Competitor
Name a sport and Poppy has probably tried her hand at it. Growing up with her family in Hertfordshire, England, Poppy played nearly everything, namely tag rugby, netball, cricket, and lacrosse. She found a specific passion for lacrosse and pursued it throughout college. It is that experience with team sports that cultivated the team first mentality she exudes in the workplace now. Whether it’s her former lacrosse team or her Acertitude team, Poppy thrives in settings where teammates celebrate each other’s successes.
