Building partnerships that shape futures.
I connect people, build partnerships, and lead high-impact programmes that empower future engineers, educators and creative communities. My work sits at the intersection of strategic partnerships, programme design and creative facilitation.
ABOUT
Where I am now.
I'm a senior partnerships and programme leader with 20+ years' experience helping organisations grow ideas, build communities and deliver impactful learning experiences across engineering, STEM, creative and cultural sectors.
I specialise in connecting the dots between people, programmes and long-term strategic goals — whether that means stewarding a multi-year university partnership, designing a national learning experience, or strengthening the organisational systems that make everything run.
At Engineers Without Borders UK, I lead university and commercial partnerships, shape programme strategy, and drive the development of scalable learning experiences that upskill future engineers and strengthen sector-wide impact.
