With a depth of Legal Operations experience, I am a people person with a passion for building strong relationships and influencing for change. As a ‘recovering’ lawyer, I aim to bring an empathetic yet strategic focus to all my engagements and take pride in my low jargon, human centred approach.

I am a respected member of the Legal Operations industry and maintain strong relationships within the industry, including through memberships of CLOC and ALTA. I have a passion for mentoring and training 'up and coming' Legal Operations talent and supporting them to find their dream job just as I have.

I have an ongoing focus on further education and my certifications include Prince2, AgilePM, Lean Six Sigma, Design Thinking and Service Design.
