My journey into the heart of inclusivity and change began in 2011, when joining Welsh Athletics, the national governing body for athletics in Wales. My role involved overseeing critical submissions, including Governance Self Assurance and Equality Standards in Sports, to Sport Wales. With each passing year, I not only enhanced the quality of these submissions but also played a pivotal role in fostering a culture of change within the organisation.

However, 2014 marked a year of personal upheaval and transformation. Amidst the challenges of significant bereavement, an empty nest, increased workplace stress, and dwindling personal resilience, I found myself at a crossroads. I was dealing with the impact of undiagnosed neurodivergent conditions plus perimenopause during this time of flux. Eventually this collision of conditions and life events left me no choice but to attempt better wellbeing by redirecting my professional journey from a Senior Leadership role to freelance work.

Now, with eight years as a consultant and educator in inclusivity and fair practise, I've collaborated with diverse sectors to spearhead change. I've led National Governing Bodies towards adopting fair and inclusive practices, significantly raising standards for equality and enhancing governance frameworks. A highlight of my career was guiding a Welsh Governing Body to achieve the first-ever 100% score in Governance Self-Assurance.

Known for my approachable nature and engaging humor, I create a collaborative environment conducive to growth and inclusivity. I connect with a wide audience, from community volunteers to senior executives, to weave inclusive values into the fabric of organisational cultures.
