Prior to this I worked with both the Cabinet Office and Serco at the Emergency Planning College, leading on various programmes, authoring guidance and standards. I was the manager of the Emergency Management and CCTV unit at the Borough of Hackney in London. Although I started my career in Nursing, being a qualified RGN, working around the UK and in Saudi Arabia, before being pulled towards Emergency management.

My specialist knowledge has led me to work with Central Government, International government, Local governments, Utilities, Serco, Olympic and Commonwealth games on projects such as Resilience, Organisational Resilience, Crisis Management, Cyber Resilience, public safety, National Occupational Standards, BSI/ISO Standards, national guidance, and training programmes.
