I have twelve years of experience in frontline sexual and domestic violence services, delivering response and prevention education workshops and training days for professionals, academics, students, children and young people.
My specialism is delivering training on understanding, responding and preventing gendered harm and violence in both workplaces and communities, aiming to activate and embed dynamic and transparent practices that are rooted in dignity, compassion and justice.
I’m always happy to help you explore how training and education might support your work.

Case Study: #TimeTo
Client: National Advertising Benevolent Society
#Timeto is a joint project of the Advertising Association, in collaboration with NABS and WACL, is accelerating its anti-sexual harassment campaign #timeTo.
Appointed as the Lead Trainer and consultant on this project, I developed a 3 hour workshop suitable for staff teams and HR professionals across the British advertising and marketing industries. I collaborated with the #Timeto team, including workers on their specialist support helpline, to create relevant, engaging and interactive content and trained a team of freelance trainers to deliver this.
