Members Advocate

“Being an advocate has allowed me to ‘give back’ to the sector I have spent my career in. It is fantastic sector with so much opportunity, and it’s key for me to attract and retain women via WUN. Personally it has given me many professional opportunities and development, like access to a inspirational network of advocates and board members, as well as opportunity to attend panel sessions as a guest speaker. I believe it has helped to elevate my brand, career and network.”

 

Have a background in HR, Learning & Development, and worked in Energy Operations within Cadent. I am passionate about everyone having opportunities, whether that’s in work, society or their personal lives, to have confidence, succeed and be the most authentic version of themselves,
I joined WUN as an Advocate back in 2020, and I took a role managing the Mentoring programme and starting up the Podcast.

I originally joined as I was inspired by two of the Founders that I had met. I loved hearing about how these successful and passionate women were aspiring to develop and encourage women in our sector, with the aim to build long and successful careers. Everything that WUN stands for really resonates with me. I am grateful that I can give back to a sector that I have enjoyed and succeeded in for the last 10 years.

I enjoy helping women to believe in themselves through building confidence, empowering them, and helping them thrive. I am excited to re-join WUN after having my daughter and continue to contribute to a network that inspires the current, and future generations of women.
