– I work with regulators, catapults, utilities, and the Offshore North Sea’s largest organisations – building capability and helping them transform, digitalise and better use data.

Why I Became a Mentor

I became a mentor (4 years ago), because I enjoy offering career support and guidance to my mentee’s and watching them grow and develop in their professional careers and personal backgrounds.
– We women need to stick together! It’s also great to network and learn about new people, professions and organisations.
