I am a PRINCE II and Agile certified Project Manager with over 18 years of experience in project delivery across various sectors, including aviation, construction, government, and higher education. Recently, I have focused on delivering both agile and waterfall projects at the University of Edinburgh always with an eye toward innovation and collaboration.
I am enthusiastic about encouraging and inspiring the younger generation, especially women, to pursue their ambitions in STEM fields. It is important to see more women wearing “hard hats” and taking on leadership roles in traditionally male-dominated industries.
Fun fact: I once managed a Project to put scaffolding all over the Houses of Parliament including Mr and Mrs Speaker’s apartment while they were on holiday.
