About Me
I'm a highly experienced remote Learning & Development Specialist, training and mentoring adults in Cyber, AI, Coding, Web Dev, Marketing, Art & Design, Employability and Digital Skills. Skilled in developing and delivering engaging BCS-accredited Tech10 online courses for diverse audiences, I'm passionate about leveraging technology to enhance learning outcomes and drive professional growth. An award-winning Senior Creative, I develop content, instructional design and streamlined workflows. My aim is always to support and inspire to consistently deliver great results.
My “one interesting thing about yourself” for warm-ups in group work is that, as test subject for the BBC Acorn, I was the first child in the UK to learn on a home computer. So I’ve been in Digital for as long as there’s been Digital and, having shared in the journey, I’ve witnessed firsthand its transformative capacity to empower individuals and businesses alike.
I love movies (even quite bad ones), VR gaming, good cafes and great books. I also enjoy working with wood and renovating old houses. A keen archer, I swim two miles a week, play chess and love food.
