What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values creativity and community engagement, offering opportunities for growth and innovation.

I am a self-starter with a passion for creativity and problem-solving, eager to transition my skills from the cycling and childcare industries into new challenges. My background includes a BSc in Creative Computing and a BA in Sound Design, complemented by various coaching certifications. I thrive in environments where I can propose innovative ideas and engage with diverse communities.

Throughout my career, I have successfully organized events and developed programs that foster community engagement, particularly among women in cycling. My initiatives at Herne Hill Velodrome have significantly increased participation and built a supportive network. I am also experienced in teaching and coaching, having worked with children and adults to enhance their skills in cycling and coding.

My ability to communicate effectively and build relationships has been key to my success. I am dedicated to creating inclusive environments and ensuring that everyone feels valued and supported. I am excited to bring my unique blend of skills and experiences to a new role where I can continue to make a positive impact.
