Hello
I joined PKF Smith Cooper in 2023 as Learning and Development Manager. I began getting involved in training and development as an Operations Manager, managing and training large teams across multiple industries over an 8 year period. The development aspect of my role was where I felt most passionate, so the move to PKF Smith Cooper felt like a very natural step where I am able to play to my strengths. I work alongside our dedicated, award winning HR team to support everyone across the firm. My role is all about ensuring that everyone has the tools and support that they need to develop.
I work across all service lines to facilitate and organise training and 1-2-1 sessions, work with everyone who attends promotion panels to help with their continuous progression, and facilitate 360 feedback for our Partners and Directors. I am also an active member of the Mental Health Committee, helping to organise events, raise awareness and educate everyone around different aspects of our mental health.
Personally speaking
I am a keen climber and hiker so you’ll find me in a climbing gym at least twice a week, and usually in the Peak District on the weekends with my Border Collie, Annie. I’m a member of our Book Club and like to read across different genres. My other passions are music and travel, so I’m constantly expanding my vinyl collection, and always try to have a trip booked!
