About

I am a forward-thinking Capital Planner, with over 2 years of asset management and infrastructure investment experience, specialising in water treatment and control systems. I have a proven history of developing a data-driven capital works programme at Tiaki Wai to ensure long-term regional water security, compliance, and operational stability. I have also successfully delivered projects for local government departments across the property sector in the UK, in Education, Healthcare, Office Accommodation and some Commercial Environments.

I am enthusiastic about working to achieve the best quality outcomes for the public within limited and scrutinised budgets. I enjoy building and maintaining relationships with a diverse range of people and have strong interpersonal and negotiation skills. I am extremely adaptable and adept at managing change for myself and others.

I was the FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment) lead on our client, Reading Borough Council's £61M school expansion programme. This involved the expansion of nine schools over a 2-year period with new furniture installation and moves during that time.
