I’m a professional dancer and choreographer with more than 20 years in the performing arts. I’ve spent over six years in senior operational roles, supporting founders and leadership teams with day-to-day administration, systems, content delivery, customer communications, and organisational processes. I work across digital wellbeing platforms and creative industries in client-facing service roles, often delivering remotely. I’m highly organised, calm under pressure, and people-focused, with a track record of supporting growing businesses, managing systems and workflows, and acting as a reliable point of contact for clients and partners. Beyond operations, I bring creative leadership to projects, coordinating cross-team efforts, maintaining content quality, and sustaining strong communications. I thrive in dynamic environments and enjoy shaping the right blend of creativity, efficiency, and wellbeing to help teams deliver on their goals.
