What I'm looking for

I seek roles delivering impact-driven programmes or projects combining legal/regulatory knowledge and operational leadership, with mentoring and stakeholder collaboration.

I am a driven programme and project manager with a strong legal background in healthcare regulation, inquest and complaint matters. With over four years assisting lawyers and doctors and recent completion of the LPC, I combine legal insight with operational delivery.

I have led end-to-end digital and international construction projects, including delivery of a web-based Learning Management System and coordination of a multi-unit residential development in Ghana. I manage teams, budgets, risk logs, and stakeholder relationships to deliver outcomes on time and in scope.

In regulatory and case management roles I have overseen caseloads working alongside NHSE and the GMC, conducted quality assurance audits, developed training, and improved telephony and audit processes. I identify trends and implement process improvements that increase capability and compliance.

I am committed to equity-focused programme design and continuous improvement, mentoring teams and building employer and institutional partnerships to align programme outcomes with labour market needs. I bring practical project frameworks (Agile, Scrum, Kanban, WBS), strong stakeholder management, and a track record of measurable impact.
