About Me
I spent decades building a career in senior corporate leadership - managing teams across the Philippines, India, Bulgaria, Brazil, the United Kingdom and Gibraltar, working in environments where being tough was the baseline and showing vulnerability wasn't really on the menu.
What nobody knew was that the whole time, I was transgender. I'd always known. I just hadn't been able to live it.
I came out later in life. By then I'd spent 19 years working with the British Army, over 20 years in senior corporate leadership across six countries, worked the doors as a bouncer and taught karate to black belt level. I was not, by any reasonable measure, the obvious face of a D&I consultancy.
The photos are both of me. Same tattoos, same person - just finally living as herself.
Which is exactly why I think I might be the right one.
I understand corporate culture from the inside. I understand what it costs to hide who you are. And I understand - better than most - how far the distance between those two worlds can stretch.
If you want inclusion that actually means something in your organisation, let's talk.

Workshops & Training
Visibilty – Understanding – Inclusion
I deliver engaging, practical workshops designed to build genuine understanding of LGBTQ+ and transgender experiences in both personal and professional settings.
These sessions go beyond surface-level awareness, equipping individuals, leaders and organisations with the knowledge, language and confidence to create environments where inclusion is fully embedded.
Keynote Speaking & Events
Leadership – Authenticity – Insight
With over 20 years’ experience in senior corporate leadership, combined with the lived experience of transitioning from male to female later in life, I'm able to bring a rare and balanced perspective to keynote speaking and event engagements.
My talks focus on LGBTQ+ and transgender awareness, workplace inclusion and meaningful support strategies, blending strategic insight with personal narrative. The result is content that resonates both emotionally and commercially - grounded in real-world leadership, authentic experience and practical application.
Diversity & Inclusion Consultancy
Awareness – Policy – Culture
Building an inclusive workplace takes more than good intentions — it takes the right knowledge, the right policies and leaders who genuinely understand the people they serve.
Without that foundation, tribunal awards are uncapped, reputational damage lasts and good people leave.
I offer leadership awareness training, D&I strategy consultancy and end-to-end policy implementation, all informed by her my lived experience as a transgender woman, delivering a workplace culture where every individual feels valued, respected and able to perform at their best.
Mental health first aid
Recognition – Confidence – Support
Mental health challenges can affect anyone, at any time. Understanding how to recognise early warning signs and respond appropriately can make a meaningful difference.
Learn about the importance of mental health first aid and gain valuable insights into supporting individuals in crisis. I will soon be offering training and guidance on addressing mental health challenges and creating a supportive environment for those in need.
Resources
Inform – Support – Empower
Alongside my consultancy work, I am providing a growing library of free resources designed to inform, support and empower those seeking a deeper understanding of transgender experiences.
These resources offer clear, practical guidance for many situations. Whether you are exploring your own transgender journey, supporting a loved one, or simply wanting to learn more, the aim is to provide information that is accessible, respectful and genuinely helpful.
Blogs
Insights – Stories – Perspectives
The blog offers a space for reflection, discussion and insight around transgender experiences, inclusion and personal growth.
Through thoughtful articles and personal perspectives, I explore topics such as identity, transition, workplace inclusion and the conversations shaping the transgender community today.
Whether you are seeking reassurance, fresh perspectives or a deeper understanding, the blog provides an evolving collection of writing designed to inform, challenge and inspire reflection.
