My academic and professional work focuses on how the menopause transition influences women’s leadership journeys and how workplaces can better support women in midlife.

I hold an MSc in Business Psychology with Distinction from Heriot-Watt University, where my dissertation examined Menopause and Leadership. I’m now preparing to begin further research to deepen understanding and develop practical, evidence-based interventions for inclusive leadership development.

I regularly publish briefing papers, articles and presentations, translating academic research into actionable insights for employers, policymakers and professional communities. I also speak regularly at industry events. Recent speaking engagements include: 

• Menopause, ambition and the leadership gap; Understanding the impact on women's careers. Women in in Banking and Finance, October 2025
• Ambition at every age: Six Degrees of separation from menopause. Women in Banking and Finance, September 2025
• Menopause and Menstruation Awareness. Citizen's Advice Scotland.October 2025
