​​I started my career with Waitrose, starting on the shopfloor at 15 years old. I went to uni and then joined the Graduate Programme and became the youngest branch manager in the business at 24 years old. I went on to hold senior roles across the John Lewis Partnership, leading large teams and working across talent, leadership, culture and people development.

And then I changed direction. 

​

When my Dad was diagnosed with a terminal illness in 2020, I decided to make my own company to allow for flexibility. That company was Good Work Life and I've created a career that combines coaching, consulting, advisory work and non-executive roles. I’ve worked with organisations including M&S, McDonald’s, Saga, Starbucks, and businesses across financial services, technology, professional services and the public and third sectors.

​

I’ve recruited people for international businesses, developed them, coached them, sponsored graduate talent and advised organisations on how they find and develop great people. ​

​

Outside work, I spend my time playing golf course and rarely miss a race during the Formula One season. I'm also a lifelong supporter of Portsmouth Football Club, which has taught me plenty about resilience and patience over the years (N.B. I can work with Southampton fans).

I'm an auntie to three fantastic kids and adore spending time with my family down on the south coast.

I believe in making the most of this one life we have.
