About
I studied Philosophy as my undergraduate degree in London during the late 1990s, before spending the next two and a half decades delivering projects, programmes and portfolios across a wide range of businesses. My professional career has focused on delivering change within new media companies emerging out of the technology boom in the early 2000s, before I gained an MBA with distinction in 2007, and subsequently launched a project consultancy business in 2012.
In 2017 I experienced pay inequity at my place of work which left me traumatized. My very public story, as documented through the film ‘Its Raining Women' by Mari Soppela, brought countless other women and their stories into my orbit. In 2019 she returned to academia to complete a Masters of Research before embarking on a PhD that highlights gaps in knowledge from across the broader organisational management theory, specifically the critical feminist perspective that considers the gendered hierarchies, structural and cultural inequalities and everyday sexism that have come to dominate women's experiences of the workplace. I adopt feminist qualitative methodologies to capture the untold stories of women and other marginalised groups to provide deep and rich insights into their experiences and the ongoing impact that such treatment has on their lives and careers.
