About

With a robust foundation in law from the University of Leicester, I have transitioned into a successful career in technology and project management. I currently serve as an SAP S/4 HANA Public Cloud Project Manager at NTT DATA, where I oversee project implementations and ensure client satisfaction. Prior to this, I honed my expertise at Deloitte as an SAP Manager and Senior SAP Consultant, where I managed projects and assessed technology risks to optimize business processes. My journey began with a role as a Student Ambassador at the University of Leicester, where I developed strong communication skills by engaging with prospective students. My educational background is complemented by A-levels in Psychology, English Language, and History from Rawlins Community College. My diverse experience and academic achievements have equipped me with a unique skill set that bridges the gap between law and technology.
