What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a consultancy position at a leading organization focused on soil health, where I can use my communication and engagement skills to support stakeholder collaboration and evidence-informed decision-making.

At Human Wanted, I help organizations clarify brand positioning, leadership messaging and culture priorities, translating business goals into clearer communication. I shape consulting, training and facilitation engagements from diagnosis through delivery and evaluation.

At Diversity Hub, I directed communications and branding for the 2024 D&I Changemakers edition, engaging 4,000+ participants. At BNY Mellon, I brought the global wellbeing strategy to life across EMEA through launches, stakeholder engagement and regional implementation.
