Summary
I find joy in helping individuals and organisations unlock their strengths to create meaningful, positive change. As a senior Learning & Development professional, I build people-focused, values-led frameworks that empower teams, strengthen leadership, and drive real impact. I partner closely with senior leaders to shape learning strategies that align with business goals while fostering inclusive, supportive cultures. With a facilitative leadership style and a focus on continuous improvement, I use insight, feedback and analytics to ensure learning experiences are engaging, effective, and built to last. I'm now looking to contribute my energy and expertise to a dynamic, purpose-driven organisation where learning is at the heart of success.
