Who I Am.

I’ve lived what happens when you wait, and what happens when you don't. That’s why I notice it so quickly in organisations and people who know, but haven’t moved.

About.

I've never fit neatly into one box. Always moving fast and following my own instincts. A drag bike crash at 24 changed everything when I sustained a spinal cord injury and began using a wheelchair

Rebuilding wasn’t just physical. It meant relearning who I was and finding a new way forward. I returned to work after five months, before deciding to travel across three continents with my partner and one very robust wheelchair.

Now I work in organisations, not to fit back in, but to challenge how we think about resilience, inclusion, identity, and what happens when we stop waiting for change to force itself.

I’m fiercely independent. I’ve always marched to the beat of my own drum. My disability hasn’t changed that.

Lately, I’ve been learning that not everything needs intellectualising. Some things are better felt. And left unspoken.
