Imagine a mix of empathic listener and practical problem-solver – that's me in a nutshell. I'm all about weaving inclusivity into the fabric of everyday life, making it as natural as my morning cup of tea.

My journey in the world of DEI has been nothing short of an adventure. From guiding teams to embrace inclusive practices, to engaging in global conversations on diversity, I'm always on the move, spreading the joy of inclusivity. My mission? To make every place a little more welcoming than I found it. My approach is deeply rooted in practical experience and empathic design.

Drawing from a rich tapestry of cultural and corporate insights, I focus on transforming strategic thinking around inclusive policies from an optional add-on to a central, integral aspect of organizational culture. This approach is underpinned by my professional journey, which spans military, corporate, and governance sectors, all tied together by a relentless passion.

historical relevance

History plays a pivotal role in my work, particularly in understanding and addressing systemic issues and biases. By acknowledging and learning from historical contexts, I aim to provide a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of diversity issues, thereby enabling more effective and lasting change in organisational cultures.

making it simple

I believe in the power of simplicity. By using metaphors like a buffet table of unique flavours, I make the abstract concept of diversity tangible and accessible. Whether it's through workshops, awareness trainings, or diversity audits, my goal is to make the concept of everyday diversity straightforward, engaging, and actionable for all.
