I'm a Business Transformation Analyst at Deloitte Consulting with a passion for leveraging technology and innovation to create a more sustainable future. My year of experience working on large-scale projects within the Public Sector has allowed me to hone my skills in navigating complex project environments while always seeking out growth opportunities and developing impactful solutions. At Deloitte, I've excelled at managing a PMO workstream for a major Public Sector project, where I've successfully identified areas for improvement, such as streamlining dependency tracking and developing comprehensive project handbooks. I thrive in collaborative environments and believe that strong stakeholder relationships are crucial for achieving exceptional results. My time at Deloitte has also significantly enhanced my proficiency in data analysis tools like Atlassian and Excel, allowing me to approach challenges with a data-driven mindset.Before joining Deloitte, I had the opportunity to contribute to meaningful projects at the Co-operative Bank and Best Talent. At the Co-operative Bank, I was deeply involved in a significant initiative aimed at shaping the future of banking, where I was able to merge my passion for digital innovation with my commitment to sustainable development. This experience solidified my belief in the power of businesses to drive positive change. At Best Talent, I thrived on the opportunity to see projects through from the initial research phase to post-launch analysis, constantly seeking ways to adapt and improve for greater success.My commitment to sustainability is deeply ingrained in my personal and professional life. I'm a certified Green Project Manager (GPM-b) and a graduate of the Cambridge Institute of Sustainable Leadership's "Towards Net Zero" course. Beyond my consulting work, I'm an active advocate for sustainability, with past experience in campaigning and activism for climate action as part of the Fridays For Future movement. Outside of work, I'm passionate about running and triathlon, having organised a cross-country race for Warwick XC club in 2022 that had over 200 participants, and competing in the Cork Ironman 70.3. I also learn Swedish to an Intermediate level.

Major Programmes AnalystDeloitte Sep 2023 - PresentManchester, England, United KingdomDuring my first year at Deloitte Consulting, I've had the opportunity to take ownership of a variety of client deliverables, both recurring and ad-hoc. A highlight of my experience was a longer-term Public Sector project where I developed personal ownership of a PMO workstream, and harnessed my innovative skills to implement process improvements and contribute to the ongoing development of a key governance forum. During this project we utilised leading digital tools such as Jira, Confluence and Kanban board to advance the efficiency of our project management approach. This greatly developed my digital skills, leading to professional proficiency in these tools as well as Excel and the wider Microsoft suite of applications.

This opportunity also advanced my creative skills and evolved my thinking around how to best present information, with improved competency in PowerPoint decks and report writing.In my side-of-desk work I have been passionate about advancing my sustainability interests, having engaged in educational and training pathways such as Green Project Management (GPMb), the Cambridge Institute for Sustainable Leadership's "Towards Net Zero" course, and internal learning journeys such as the Major Programmes Sustainability pathway.
