Sadie Ruellan was studying towards her degree in childhood studies when she started working for the Government. The chaos of Covid-19 resulted in Sadie working on multiple projects in different roles and departments within her first six months. This included the CRESS project that provided support to Islanders living in Jersey for less than five years at the time of the Covid outbreak, working for the Ministerial Support Unit, and as part of the Covid Response team.

Sadie was nominated for her work at this time by people across the organisation and was shortlisted as a finalist for the Rising Stars award. Having discovered a passion for project work and public service, Sadie took up a permanent position as Business Improvement Consultant. It was in this role that Sadie worked on the People Bot project, alongside Stuart Barette and Oliver Meredith who together make up the Business Service Improvement Team.

We find out more about the persona behind People Bot, what she can support staff with in the organisation by identifying areas for improvement, and future plans to create a network of bots, including a Gov Bot for the public.
