I am a pharmaceutical leader and neurodiversity coach working at the intersection of science, leadership, and lived experience.

For over a decade, I have worked in global biotech and CDMO environments, leading Quality Control and manufacturing support functions, delivering large transformation programmes, and driving operational excellence within complex, highly regulated systems. I understand performance, accountability, and what it takes to lead in high-pressure environments.

Alongside my corporate career, I founded NeuroSpacious, a coaching practice dedicated to supporting neurodivergent professionals in the workplace. I bring several years of coaching experience in high demanding settings. My work focuses on helping individuals build sustainable systems that work with their brains rather than against them.

As someone with ADHD, I know the invisible load of masking, burnout cycles, hyperfocus, and executive function challenges. I also know the strengths that come with a different cognitive profile. My coaching model, NeuroSpacious, is rooted in neuroscience, behavioural science, and workplace psychology. It guides individuals to regulate, clarify, act, and recover so they can rediscover who they are beneath years of adaptation and pressure.

My mission is to help neurodivergent individuals thrive at work, by understanding their nervous system, their patterns, and their strengths. When people reconnect with how their brain actually works, performance becomes sustainable and identity becomes clearer.

I speak about neurodiversity, inclusive leadership, sustainable productivity, and psychological safety, translating research into practical strategies leaders and teams can apply immediately.
