About Me

“I am an aspiring board member, taking on a variety of private sector, public sector and not-for-profit governance roles over the past few years. I am a future-focused professional with strong leadership and communication skills, who enjoys working collaboratively as a member of a board to identify short-term solutions and develop long-term strategies. In both my governance, professional and volunteer careers, I have contributed to developing organisational strategy, proactively engaging with stakeholders and identifying areas which traditional governors may not have considered as priorities in the modern age. My burgeoning career as a solicitor has equipped me with a high level of business acumen and relationship management skills, including extensive experience working with clients across the private and public sectors. I am community focused and have held a number of regional and national not-for-profit roles in the legal industry and beyond, particularly focussed on advancing the progression of diverse communities by bringing their voices to the board table.”
