Scientific and engineering curiosity sparked it all . My career started as a manufacturing apprentice in orthopaedic devices, where I gained hands on experience machining, finishing, marking, inspecting and packaging Class III implants. At the same company, I continued into research & development, where I designed surgical instruments and implantable devices.

In my time as a BSI technical assessor, I had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of orthopaedic, dental and sports medicine devices including a myriad of surgical instruments, trauma plates and nails, extremities joint replacements, large joint replacements, reconstruction systems, cranial devices, meniscal repair, labral repair, biceps tendon repair and rotator cuff repair devices.

I was a technical documentation assessor at BSI, the notified body for medical devices, where I specialised in orthopaedic and dental devices. I received expert training in ISO 13485, MDR and UKCA certification schemes, along with detailed technical training spanning design control, risk management, labelling and instructions for use, packaging and transit validation, shelf life validation, verification and validation testing, and clinical evaluation. I managed large certification applications and maintained certifications for some of the largest global orthopaedic companies.

In 2026, I have extended my knowledge to in-vitro diagnostics, and managed applications in global markets.

In 2026, I was driven to put to use my informal experience of leading and coaching to move into a Regulatory Affairs Manager role. I combined this with studying International Management and Leadership.

I have a strong interest in models of leadership, psychological safety, and creating high performance culture.
