Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working on schemes with teams at the University of Manchester, the University of Liverpool, the Science Museum Group, and the British Library. Together, we’ve tackled a variety of projects, ranging from cultural, to social initiatives and heritage preservation.

My background’s a bit of a mixed bag—I’ve been lucky to work on everything from research and development in the microscopy sector to delivering schemes at the world’s largest museum group.

One of my proudest moments in my career to date is working within the original team in setting up the first think tank network in the MENA region.

I’m passionate about women in construction based roles and have seen firsthand how the industry is changing and becoming more accessible to people in terms of career pathways and balancing work and family life requirements.

One of the things I’m most excited about is being able to mentor up and coming women who have recently entered the project management sector through the Hive Director Led Mentor Scheme. It’s part of the reason I joined the Hive team, their interventions to support a more diverse team at all levels of the business.
