I’m a curious, creative and analytical thinker, who wants to contribute towards creating a healthier, more just and equal society. In my HR career, I thrived when working on projects and programmes related to employee engagement, health, wellbeing and improving workplace conditions; and also when I had opportunities to investigate and implement interventions that contributed to building a healthier workplace culture.These experiences lead me to take a career break to reassess my career objectives; during which I volunteered, completed informal study and travelled internationally. I am very pleased to now be pursuing a Masters in Public Health at Imperial College, London.I am particularly interested in the intersection between public health and climate health/sustainability; particularly sustainable diets. I am aiming to explore internships and/or research opportunities in this space (or related) once my MSc studies allow.My previous experience, gives me numerous transferable skills including resourcefulness; flexibility; business acumen; well developed communication and problem-solving skills; stakeholder and project management skills; and a proven ability to apply creative, evidence-based methods (such as Behaviour Change methodology and Design Thinking) to deliver transformative, sustainable and contextually appropriate resolutions to business (and health) challenges. I have also previously designed and delivered employee health, wellbeing and engagement programmes and contributed to the building of a healthier, high performing workplace culture and the pursuit of inclusive, sustainable growth and development objectives.My experience also spans across multiple sectors (Healthcare/ Social Care, Financial Services, Insurance and Government) and multiple employee groups (professional, technical, administrative, customer services, social care and manual) in both unionised and non-unionised environments. As such, I am able to adapt my communication style, approach and tone in order to build, maintain and manage relationships. Further, I have experience engaging, and working in partnership with (and within), formal and informal employee groups and networks (such as interest and resource groups, leadership groups etc) on project design and implementation. These skills would be very applicable in the field of public health, where effective engagement, consultation and management of diverse internal, external and public stakeholder groups is likely to be a key component of success.
