Spaces that foster connection, innovation, and wellbeing.My role bridges the worlds of design, operations, and data. I oversee how we plan, manage, and validate space information through systems such as Planon (IWMS), making sure accuracy that underpins smarter decision making, compliance, and long term strategic planning.Before joining UCL, I designed and delivered workplace and interior projects internationally, combining creative vision with hands-on project delivery.

I also hold a Chartered Diploma in Leadership and Management (Level 5) from Imperial College London, awarded with Distinction, which strengthened my approach to leadership and organisational performance.I believe that great spaces are more than functional; they’re catalysts for creativity, community, and growth. Always curious, always evolving.
