About me

"Our lives are so much more than our work. Our work is just part of who we are."
– Arianna Huffington

As well as being a Founder, Business Owner, and Entrepreneur, I am a project management pro who thrives on solving problems, building connections, and turning chaos into clarity. Coffee lover, avid traveler, and proud dog parent.

I’ve spent the last 10+ years helping businesses grow by managing projects that deliver real results. From startups to established brands, I’ve successfully led teams in tech, retail, and more.

I believe project management is more than just timelines and spreadsheets—it’s about creating transformations, building trust, and helping businesses thrive. Specialising in transformational project management, I bring structure and strategy to chaotic situations, and I’m obsessed with finding innovative solutions.

When I’m not managing projects, you can find me experimenting with cocktails (ask me about my latest creation!) or going for a swim, along with many varied voluntary roles (see below!).

I’m passionate about empowering businesses—big or small—with tools and strategies to grow sustainably. My goal? To make the complex simple. Let’s turn your big ideas into actionable plans. Reach out to see how I can help your business grow!
