Consultant

• Aug 2022 - Present

I work with small and medium sized business in Norwich and the wider UK to provide consultancy primarily related to Equity, Equality, Diversity & Inclusion, and also within Human Resources. It's important to note these are very different fields, but I have experience as a practitioner in both! I love working with people getting started with discussions around EEDI and how to embed just processes in their work, and supporting organisations getting a solid foundation to their operation.
