Work with me
I see possibilities where others see problems, and my experience mentoring young adults, business owners, and researchers will help you confidently explore and reach towards your potential.
With many years of experience engaging with people, communities, and organisations at all levels I I know how to share stories which build trust and understanding in order to facilitate future connection and collaboration.

The blog is where you can read my latest posts, many of which are works-in-progress or thoughts yet to be developed regarding my own research for my part-time PhD. Comments are usually enabled and I welcome constructive thoughts and differing perspectives – but always bear in mind the words of Flower from the Disney movie Bambi, “If you can’t say something nice … don’t say nothing at all”

I came to academia a teensy bit later than usual, and when applying for an MA in Historical Research I recall my tutor describing me as a life-long learner. I’d never heard the phrase but I immediately identified with it.
It’s been a long journey from there to the beginning of my PhD however everything I have learned so far will help inform and shape this piece of work and my future consultancy adventures.
