What I'm looking for

I am seeking a governance or data-focused role where I can lead process improvements, manage confidential records, use SharePoint/Excel expertise, and collaborate with stakeholders in a compliant, impact-driven environment.

I am a governance and casework specialist with over 16 years' senior experience managing confidential corporate and public-sector data. I am a competent SharePoint Owner, Advanced Excel user, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor and certified GDPR practitioner who consistently improves processes and reporting.

I have led development of complex databases and quality management procedures, reduced NHS records turnaround from 30 to 7 days, and supported significant contract governance for the Royal Navy, cleansing large datasets and producing stakeholder reports.

I work well autonomously and in teams, chair governance groups, and deliver measurable business improvements—raising sales team revenue, boosting customer feedback, and maintaining contract assurance—while volunteering regularly to support my community.
