Summary

With 19 years of experience in the customer service industry and a strong foundation in HR, I bring a people-first mindset and a practical, solutions-driven approach to my work. Most recently, I’ve worked as a Unit P&C Business Partner, specialising in aligning people and culture strategies with business objectives to drive performance, engagement, and sustainable growth.

I have a wealth of experience in employee relations, having successfully managed a wide range of complex cases with empathy, professionalism, and a balanced approach to conflict resolution. My background in customer service has shaped my ability to communicate effectively, build trust, and navigate challenging situations with confidence and care.

Known for my strong organisational and communication skills, I thrive under pressure and excel at problem-solving in fast-paced environments. I’m passionate about creating inclusive workplaces where people feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive. Whether leading change initiatives, enhancing talent strategies, or advising on ER matters, I aim to make a meaningful impact through thoughtful, collaborative leadership.
