PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
Professional Expertise With Human Focus
I am a Chartered Management Accountant (ACMA, MAAT, DipPPC) with over thirty years’ experience spanning finance, business leadership, and personal empowerment. My work bridges financial expertise with coaching and facilitation, supporting people through complexity, pressure, and change.
I have worked with individuals, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and corporate teams to strengthen decision-making, resilience, and confidence. My approach is grounded, practical, and respectful, focusing on sustainable clarity, capability, and real-world implementation rather than theory alone.

Every experience adds to the understanding I bring to the people I work with today.

More Of My Personal Story
My work is shaped by my life...all of it. Faith and heritage. Being a sister, mother, aunty, grandmother. The sudden loss of our 'Mummy'. Navigating micro-aggressions in a corporate world where my spirit and soul were slowly dying. Weathering as a Black woman. Going back to studying. Building businesses on 15-hour days. Menopause. In every season, I've had to carve out time for what matters and dig deep to stay grounded.
My roots span Jamaica and the UK, and dual living is my reality. Navigating different worlds, cultures, expectations and responsibilities has been my greatest teacher — in resilience, adaptability, and staying true to myself. It's also where 'I Can Do It' became more than a mantra. It became a way of life.
Many people come to me when they feel pulled in every direction, overwhelmed, stuck, or simply running on empty. My role is to help them find clarity, reclaim their balance, and move forward with confidence in a way that's true to who they are.
