About the principal consultant

I bring over two decades of experience across mental health practice, education, organizational leadership, and professional governance. My work includes senior governance and policy leadership within regulated professional environments, authorship of professional guidance on ethical AI use, and advisory support to organizations developing AI policies, training programs, and implementation strategies. I operate at the intersection of ethics, regulation, and operational practice - translating complex requirements into clear, defensible frameworks that teams can apply with confidence.

My consulting and training work is:

• Human-centred — grounded in duty of care and real service relationships  
• Practical and implementation-focused — not theoretical or vendor-driven  
• Governance-informed — aligned with professional, regulatory, and legal expectations  
• Context-specific — tailored to your sector, risks, and readiness  
• Plain-language — clear guidance your teams can actually use  

I work collaboratively with leadership, frontline professionals, and compliance or governance teams to ensure AI use is clearly understood, appropriately governed, and responsibly embedded in day-to-day practice.
