About

PRINCE2 and Agile-certified project management professional with experience delivering complex healthcare and digital transformation projects using both traditional and Agile approaches. Motivated and resilient with a positive outlook and a can-do attitude, known for building strong relationships and driving positive change. I care about doing a good job and take pride in delivering work to a high standard. A proactive team player and skilled negotiator, experienced in bringing people together, navigating complex challenges, and finding solutions that work for everyone. Committed to making a real difference and adding value wherever I work. Outside of work, I enjoy walking with my dogs, hiking and yoga, which I’ve only recently taken up. I like setting myself personal challenges including completing the Yorkshire 3 Peaks 12 hour challenge, recently climbing Ireland’s mountain and completing my first 10k run for charity.
