Over the years I’ve been a Secretarial Assistant coupled with IT Facilitator responsibilities, a Team Co-ordinator, a PA to a Director and a Principal, a Clerk to a Governing Body (twice), an Office Manager, a Resources Manager and EPA to a CEO, CFO, COO.

I’ve worked in Distance Higher Education, for a middle school, for a chain of luxury retail villages, for a children’s charity, at an entrepreneurial startup and currently, for the second time in this sector, an EPA for the CEO of a Housing Association. I’m inspired to mentor as in the past I have been a Line Manager, and I miss sharing my experience and providing guidance.

The mentor / mentee relationship is a two-way process so you can achieve your defined goals.  See me as a long-term friend and sounding board to chat through options, help you to visualise the possible consequences and come up with some creative solutions.  I aim to help you to develop by listening and sharing my specialist knowledge, skills, and network of contacts.  I envisage that by working together you will grow and gain confidence for the future and explore your opportunities to the full.
