I have experience across a range of roles, including Operations Manager, Governance Officer, Deputy Manager, and Tutor. Over the years, I’ve supported management teams, legal professionals, and colleagues with everything from Board and Committee Governance to monitoring team outputs and productivity reports, event planning and day-to-day operations.
My work has included drafting policies, advice, Trustee handbooks and constitutions, financial tasks using SAGE, tracking budgets, keeping financial records and reporting. I’ve also provided practical support to ensure things run smoothly and efficiently.
