With deep experience in pharma and medtech, I specialize in translating regulatory complexity into practical, actionable frameworks.

Outside of policy and audits, I speak regularly on startup compliance and love turning “boring” topics into memorable moments. I'm here to connect, create, and contribute.

I support employees to navigate HR processes in the workplace. This could be help to understand something like a disciplinary or performance management issue. I help to explain the legislation that underpins the process and try to unpick whether the employer is acting legally.

I act as an advocate and support and debrief with the employee from the sidelines. Sometimes employees need help to work through an interpersonal problem e.g. with a manager or peer, or just need HR coaching and advice for generally getting through the current corporate landscape.
