Message

I am a Learning & Development and Talent Management professional with over seven years of experience at Deloitte, progressing to Assistant Manager and leading firm-wide and regional initiatives focused on leadership development, employee growth, and organizational capability.

Throughout my career, I have managed a range of talent and development programs, including a six-month leadership development program for approximately 40 participants, a portfolio of 35 professional qualifications, and regional talent initiatives supporting around 60 participants annually. My experience spans end-to-end program management, stakeholder engagement, budget management, vendor relationships, digital learning, and collaboration with senior leadership to deliver initiatives aligned with business priorities.

Alongside my core Learning & Development responsibilities, I have a strong interest in employee engagement, wellbeing, mental health, inclusion, and creating a positive employee experience. I have led and supported initiatives focused on wellbeing, women's development, health awareness, CSR, and sustainability, and I am passionate about creating workplace environments where people feel supported, engaged, and empowered to grow.

I enjoy building strong relationships, bringing people together, and turning ideas into meaningful programs that deliver value for both employees and the organization. I am now keen to build on my experience in a people-focused role where I can contribute to Learning & Development, Talent Management, Employee Engagement, Wellbeing, or broader People & Culture initiatives within an organization that values its people and invests in their development.
