I'm an entrepreneur, public speaker & podcast host with over 15 years of experience leading organizations, events, projects, and communities in arts, culture & entertainment, passionate about bringing diverse talent into the creative industry - from artists to arts managers.
💡 During the pandemic, I founded I LIKE NETWORKING, an award-winning career platform for women and non-binary people in the creative industries to foster a more diverse workforce.
Through ILN I develop bespoke mentoring and career development programmes, run networking initiatives, and speak in podcasts and events on topics ranging from entrepreneurship, freelancing, networking, and mentoring.
🏆 In 2021, I was listed as one of the top 21 most influential women by Startups Magazine and won the D&AD awards.
In one year, I LIKE NETWORKING has supported and upskilled over 3000 people and amassed a community of over 24k people, featured on vehicles such as Evening Standard, Stylist, and The New York Times.
