I collaborate with employers across London to understand their workforce needs, build inclusive recruitment solutions, and open pathways for people facing barriers to employment.With experience across business development, stakeholder engagement, and international partnership growth, I bring a strategic and people‑focused approach to building long‑term employer relationships. Previously, I led market expansion and talent‑development initiatives across financial services and education, working with regulators, universities, and global organisations to strengthen access to skills and professional careers.I’m motivated by work that delivers both organisational value and social impact. Whether developing employer networks, shaping engagement strategies, or connecting businesses with diverse, work‑ready talent they might otherwise overlook, my focus is on creating solutions that support sustainable growth.
