About me

---

I started out as an actor. I was successful and worked in Theatre, TV and Radio for a number of years, but it wasn’t for me - I like working in the real world. I moved into the voluntary sector, managing grant programmes in the UK and overseas. I also spent 4 years at the Management Centre as a Senior Learning and Development Consultant.   

I work with groups and individuals delivering communication skills training and I love it! Knowing that I have a positive impact is very important to me. What I learned from acting has informed everything I do: the need for self-belief;  how to communicate with a range of people; the impact that your voice and body language can have.     

My work in management gives me an insight into the realities and pressures of the workplace and the importance of strong communication skills.  I’ve led people and projects and I have a strongly pragmatic approach.  

I have a first class degree in Theatre Arts and an MA in Voice Studies from Central School of Speech and Drama.  I am also TEFL qualified and I am an ILM accredited Action Learning Sets facilitator.     

Great communication isn't something magical. It's a skill. It can be learned.
