About

Assistant Risk Manager with experience across internal audit, risk management and controls assurance in fast‑paced, regulated environments. I started my career in EY’s external audit practice before moving into internal audit and then risk, giving me a well‑rounded understanding of governance, controls and organisational performance. In my current role, I support the development and embedding of risk frameworks, partner with risk and control owners, and help strengthen processes across finance, operations and technology. I enjoy translating complex issues into clear, practical actions and working with stakeholders to improve control maturity and decision‑making. I’m particularly interested in how AI, automation and no‑code tools can enhance risk management and assurance, and I’m always looking for ways to bring more efficiency, clarity and structure to the organisations I work with.
