About
I am an organisational development consultant, executive coach, writer, speaker and artist with expertise in business strategy, performance, inclusion & diversity, leadership and change. I have 20 years’ experience working in a multinational pharma organisation as well as more than 5 years of professional experience working in education/non-profit community organisations. I have my NTL Organisational Development certification and am an APECS Certified Professional Executive Coach. As an out queer (non-binary, gay) person I have nearly 10 years of leadership in inclusion and diversity with an emphasis on LGBTQ+. I am a Co-Founder and current Co-Chair of the Proud Science Alliance, a collective of healthcare and life sciences sector LGBTQ+ networks and partners who work together to raise the bar on LGBTQ+ inclusion within their organisations and the sector as a whole.
As an OD Consultant I have supported individual leaders to lead their teams more effectively, have been the lead on large, global-scale change projects impacting thousands and everything in between. I primarily specialise in working with senior leaders and leadership teams to understand the root cause of a problem that needs to be solved and then work with the leader(s) to design and deliver solutions to resolve the problem in alignment with their overall business strategy and plan. I use a coaching approach, so leaders take active ownership of the process and solutions, while building their own leadership capabilities. When needed as part of a project, I also worked with extended leader groups and support teams, most often to build their capability to lead change, to lead their teams and to deliver organisational goals more effectively.
I am a trained scientist with two graduate degrees in Exercise Physiology and Cell and Molecular Biology. During my graduate studies I spent five years doing practical lab research in a hospital and in academic labs. After graduate school, I worked in global roles focused on employee engagement and human performance across multiple parts of a pharma organisation including R&D, Global Health, Commercial and HR. With formal training in interpersonal/group dynamics and Gestalt, I am skilled in working with individuals and groups to build knowledge and awareness of how we can each perform better as individuals and within the context of a team and the organisation as a whole. I am extending my consulting experience now with a focus on small and medium sized organisations, primarily with a scientific or medical focus.

Diploma Energy Therapy
-
Over the last decade, psychotherapy has come to align itself more strongly with the notion of energy healing (Mollon, 2008). This course supports students’ development through embodied exploration of subtle energies, discovering how to perceive and activate energy for therapeutic use, and learning to direct energy for self-healing and for relational work with others.
