About me

As a Sociologist, I have spent my career understanding what drives people, how cultures shape leadership and how organisations can engage meaningfully with those they serve. For over 20 years, I have worked at the intersection of inclusion, change, and community engagement, helping organisations and individuals turn complex challenges into clear, practical solutions. My approach blends deep academic research with hands-on facilitation and coaching, ensuring that change is both impactful and sustainable.

My Story

With an MA in Culture, Identity and Globalisation and a PhD in Belonging and Communities, my work focuses on how identity, culture and systems shape change and inclusion. I apply this expertise to help organisations deeply understand their audiences and to create environments where people can thrive

I have worked with NHS trusts, local councils, businesses, universities, grassroots organisations, embassies and government departments, helping to navigate cultural transformation, inclusion and strategic change. Whether supporting a charity in aligning its mission with action, advising a public sector organisation on engagement strategies, or coaching an executive through change, my work is about bridging understanding and action.

Research & diagnostics to uncover the real challenges behind inclusion, engagement and strategy gaps

Facilitation & training to bring clarity, alignment and buy-in from all stakeholders

Coaching & mentoring for individuals and teams navigating complex change

Strategy development & implementation support to turn vision into action

My work is globally informed and culturally relevant. Having worked with clients across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, South Asia and the USA, I understand that every organisation and community operates within its own unique cultural and structural context. My approach is always tailored, ensuring that strategies are not only effective but deeply connected to the people and systems they serve.
