☻  What I've done to address inequity in the industry since 2010  ☻   
Me in a nutshell
- I am a creative all rounder. I can be as hands on (from designing key visuals, dressing the sets, writing scrips to editing videos) or off as needed. I can smoothly move from behind the camera to being in front of the camera.
- I care deeply, about the team, the work and its lasting impact on the world around us.
- I lead by example and value direct, open communication and fairness in teamwork. You always know where I stand.
Throughout my career, I have been an active campaigner for equality, intersectionality, and neurodivergence. I am the co-president of SheSays London, a global network that supports women and non-binary people in the creative industry. I am also the co-founder of Growth & Grace Collective, a gender-neutral, cross-industry network that promotes holistic growth. I am a Young Lion judge, a Pitch 100 Superwoman 2019, and an Amazon AWS GetIT ambassador for 2021 and 2022.

I enjoy hosting panel discussions and workshops around career development, mental well-being, diversity, and inclusion. The Leadership event at TikTok HQ was one of them.

If you'd like to work with me, but are unsure if I'm a real human or not, feel free to speak to my neighbours who know me as Mother of Sausage (dogs). The middle one won The Scruffiest Dog award at CanaryWoof 2018. People find it hard to believe she's an actual dog, not a Womble.

They stack up like a burger on my lap when I work from home. They occasionally sit on my lap during panel discussions at networking events.
