There are many aspects that make up who I am and how I operate.
I specialise in Governance, having been a trustee for over 12 years, currently embarking on my second role as chair, alongside my positions as a primary school governor, a Non-Exec Director of a Community Interest Company and a committee member for a local theatre charity. I am also a member of both the National Governance Association and the Association of Chairs. I am an associate trainer for Getting
My favourite part of my work is guiding trustees through governance processes to instil confidence in their own abilities to make great decisions and change the path of their organisations for the better.
I founded MiraGold in 2019 to build on my experience of working across the UK for a national educational organisation. Every team, big or small, needs an external point of view to help shape its journey – MiraGold will provide valuable insights and practical tools to allow each member of that team to flourish.
Every organisation is unique, with differing priorities and needs – that’s why MiraGold’s services are bespoke, every time.
Educated at Northumbria University, I spent 14 years living in Newcastle and am now based in West Yorkshire with a husband, two children, and a Cockapoo!
