Speaking and training

Engaging with an audience to share my knowledge, motivate and enable learning is something I am passionate about.

Over the years, I have collaborated with Advance HE, CILIP, Internet Librarian International, University College London, Springboard, London Information and Knowledge Exchange, CPD25, Information Literacy Group, Special Libraries Association and Tinder Foundation.

My style is calming, thoughtful and encouraging. I am gently persistent in helping you make the tweaks you wish for.

Below are details of my previous work. If you would like to invite me to speak at an event or lead a workshop, please contact me. Rates and availability on request.
