I am a Chartered Principal Planner with experience leading on a variety of projects. I graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2019 with an MA in Planning and Urban Design following a year in the industry where my passion for planning and design evolved. By having a multi-disciplinary degree I am able to review and advise clients on design aspects of projects to create a better built environment.

My expertise in planning is mainly within the public sector in the form of education, health and retirement living. My tenacious nature ensures that planning applications are approved in a positive and timely manner for key infrastructure projects nationwide. I am always looking for a challenge and providing clients with solutions to maximise land value and de-risk the planning process.

I am on the committee for Nottingham Women in Construction, which is a community for women in construction where victories are shared, challenges find understanding and guidance paves the way for empowerment. The heart of the network is to help individuals grow their network and gain confidence whilst encouraging the next generation of women into the industry.

Outside of work I enjoy hiking in the Peak and Lake District and a box fit gym class (to let all of my planning frustrations out!). I am also ticking off all of the Greek Islands.
