What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead GDPR compliance, implement practical data governance, mentor teams, and drive measurable risk reduction within healthcare, public, or charity sectors.

I am an experienced information governance and data protection professional with a strong track record delivering UK and EU GDPR compliance across healthcare, social care, public (schools) and private organisations. I have led full lifecycle compliance projects, completed DPIAs and ROPAs, created policies, delivered training, and supported DSPT submissions for NHS and charity clients.

My background combines business analysis, SAP BI/BW system implementation and reporting with project and stakeholder management, resulting in practical, auditable processes and measurable risk reduction. I am results-oriented, ethically driven, and continually update my skills (currently completing CIPP/e) to ensure organisations meet regulatory and technical data protection requirements.
