I am a creative strategist and women’s rights advocate with over 15 years’ experience using advocacy and communications to drive social change. I started my career working with grassroots organisations and saw first hand how the traditional aid architecture is designed to keep certain groups out and prevent money reaching those leading change. Following my masters in International Development at LSE, I started Global Office Consulting in 2017 to bring visibility to the organisations and movements that are fundamental to advancing equity and social justice. Through this work I have shaped strategies and curated campaigns for hundreds of clients across the social justice ecosystem, building connections between clients and partners along the way, so that we can all be more aligned and impactful in our work.
In 2020 I created Women in Dev, a conference that became a community of over 10,000 women working in the development space united in a mission to transform funding practices, instil feminist leadership models, and advance women’s leadership across the social impact sector. In 2023 I began to process of redesigning and re-envisioning Global Office as Comotion, a collective of strategists, campaigners and creatives based all over the world, working with clients to turn their passion and purpose into social change.
As someone who has required flexibility at every stage of my career to balance my growing family life with my professional aspirations, I am an eternal advocate for flexible working and seek always to lead a non-hierarchal workplace where all team members are heard, and all perspectives valued.
