About me

My career has been shaped by a longstanding curiosity about what helps people develop, perform and thrive…and a fascination with (and plenty of lived experience of!) the gap between intention and action.

I studied Sports Science at Loughborough University before completing an MSc at University College London, where I developed a particular focus on adolescent neuroscience and the developmental journey into adulthood. This combination underpins my understanding of how the brain, body, habits and environment interact to shape learning, behaviour and performance.

As Head of Young Talent at Dr Elizabeth Consultancy, I work with leading organisations across a diverse range of industries to strengthen the development and performance of graduates, apprentices, early-career professionals and emerging leaders. I also support managers to provide the clarity, relationships and learning opportunities that enable young talent to contribute, develop and progress.

I have a particular research interest and specialist expertise in digital habits and behaviour. Since completing my MSc research in 2018, I have continued to explore how technology and persuasive design influence attention, habits, relationships and decision-making. More recently, this work has extended to the opportunities and challenges created by AI, including how we can use it intentionally without weakening the human capabilities needed for learning, judgement and performance.

Alongside my organisational work, I coach high-performing and high-potential individuals from a range of professional and sporting environments, including academy and grassroots football. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology and behaviour change, I help people understand their patterns, navigate pressure and setbacks, and develop habits that support both wellbeing and sustained performance.

Before moving into consultancy and coaching, I spent more than 20 years working in education and held a senior international role leading wellbeing strategy across almost 100 schools in the Middle East, Europe, Asia and Latin Ameriaca . I am now a Board Director at the Independent Schools Football Association and a guest lecturer on the MBA programme at Manchester Metropolitan University. I was also a Trustee of OCD Action for four years and remain deeply committed to improving the wellbeing, development and opportunities of young people.
