The opportunity to study and work in the planning sector across different parts of the UK and abroad has given me an understanding of the complexity of the planning process. Over recent years, I have been working on a wide range of projects, including residential, commercial, retail and regeneration schemes, which has allowed me to get familiar with issues and challenges planners often face when working on projects.

I am particularly interested in high-quality design, sustainability and regeneration, which I believe plays an important role in addressing the problems the urban environment is currently facing. I am excited to go to work knowing how what we do now can impact the future, both in regards to the quality of lives and our environment. What I love most about planning is that it brings together specialists from many disciplines who work together to create great places and spaces for everyone.

I am a chartered member of the Royal Town Planning Institute and a member of Women in Property Association.

Exploring how development can offer new opportunities to places and people has been a continually enjoyable aspect of my career. Collaborating across a range of disciplines, I strive to see the bigger picture to support our clients as they bring forwards proposals which can make a long-term positive impact.

As a planner, my role is to provide the essential support to progress a project from concept to delivery. Calling upon my years of experience as a Chartered Town Planner, I work closely with project teams to deliver for our clients. Overcoming the challenges each project presents to provide a high-quality scheme is rewarding every time.

As a qualified Quantity Surveyor with experience in the residential sectors & public healthcare; more specifically Supported & Assisted Living, Social Housing, Residential Housing & Hospital sectors; I have a unique and diverse range of capabilities that I am continually improving. I am looking to become a Chartered Quantity Surveyor in the near future, whilst expanding my current sectorial knowledge with Enabl. I have experience in a wide range of Quantity Surveying skills both pre and post contract and I have a particular interest in ensuring that projects are carefully planned and considered to prevent adversarial circumstances appearing post contract.

I have experience of assessing a wide range of planning applications at varying scales across different sectors, as well as handling planning appeals and providing pre application advice to prospective applicants and clients. I considered myself to be a strong communicator with experience of dealing with an array of key internal and external stakeholders. I bring to Enabl a valuable knowledge of the planning process post submission, and I pride myself in providing an honest and collaborative approach to help clients achieve success with schemes and planning submissions.

My diverse background in construction has given me a well-rounded understanding of surveying and how to implement best working practices on the projects I work on. Working full-time while studying has allowed me to further develop my skills in project and cost management. With a fresh approach, gained from diverse experiences in construction and development, I understand the importance of collaboration, communication, and adaptability in the industry. I am committed to making a positive impact and believe my dedication, work ethic, and passion for the industry will aid my professional growth

A well-rounded background in construction (both academic and on the ground) gave me real-world insight and an understanding of the buildability side of the surveying role. Today, acting as a Director and MRICS surveyor, I bring experience in project and cost management to enabl, having worked with SMEs all the way up to large international consultancies.

Our industry is complex and often convoluted. I believe in a fresh approach that not only puts clients at ease but builds their excitement and anticipation; content knowing their best interests are always put first. We advocate collaboration at enabl, which comes naturally to me as I bridge the gap and seek to resolve the far too often adversarial relationships between clients, contractors and fellow professionals.

I first became interested in the built environment when writing my undergraduate dissertation on culture-led regeneration in Manchester and how the city's music and cultural scenes influenced its physical regeneration. In 2022 I graduated with a fully RTPI accredited MSc in Urban Design and International Planning where I gained skills and knowledge in design, GIS and urban and regional policy. The interaction between people and place and how the planning system navigates this are of particular interest to me, as well as how we as planners and built environment professionals create places which balance social, economic and environmental benefits.

As a dedicated quantity surveyor, I take pride in always understanding the requirements of each client and prioritising their best interests. With a passion for accuracy and attention to detail, I offer comprehensive cost assessments and precise measurements to support informed decision-making. I actively seek opportunities to expand my expertise and I have worked on a diverse range of projects. Collaborative by nature, I value open communication and teamwork to ensure successful project outcomes, aiming to deliver high-quality work and build lasting relationships. As a strong advocate for women in construction, I strive to inspire and empower others in the field.
