I'm a Chartered Surveyor specialising in property and asset management. I've never been one for just doing the day job and have undertaken varied board and committee roles in a range of organisations, where I'm recognised as a governance expert. Developing communication and leadership skills has been enormously impactful throughout all aspects of my career and I enjoy helping others to learn and develop their confidence in these areas.
