Work Background
Director
Nærvær LtdDirector
Feb. 2025Glasgow, Scotland, United KingdomAs Director of Nærvær, I lead a professional learning consultancy dedicated to helping individuals, teams and organisations use digital tools more intentionally – driving efficiency, clarity, compliance and wellbeing through bespoke learning experiences. With a background in behavioural change, workplace habits and digital transformation, I specialise in creating tailored solutions that work seamlessly across Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Apple ecosystems. My work spans both direct consultancy and partnerships with other learning providers and resellers – collaborating to design, facilitate and evolve programmes that help people work more effectively and with purpose. A big part of what I do is helping people understand the technology they already have – what it can do, how to use it well and which tools they might not need at all. For me, transformation starts with education and awareness, not more software. Nærvær (meaning “presence” in Danish) embodies my belief in simplicity, balance and a mindful approach to productivity. My facilitation style is modern, friendly and human – I break down complex concepts and create safe, practical learning spaces where people feel confident, capable and equipped to apply what they’ve learned in ways that genuinely suit their roles, preferences and priorities.

Learning Specialist UK & EMEA
ShowbieLearning Specialist UK & EMEA
Nov. 2021 - May. 2022Glasgow, Scotland, United KingdomAs a Showbie Learning Specialist, I worked with schools, local authorities and multi-academy trusts to support large-scale digital transformation programmes. My role focused on helping educators and leadership teams make the most of their digital tools – using Showbie to streamline classroom workflows, enhance learning, and create more efficient, engaging teaching environments. This work went far beyond technical training. I guided teams through deep, sometimes challenging, pedagogical shifts – supporting them to rethink their practices and build confidence in new ways of working. As with any meaningful change, success depended on thoughtful strategy, strong stakeholder engagement, collaborative planning, and consistent, real-world support. My approach was always people-first: practical, hands-on, and rooted in a clear understanding of the pressures and possibilities facing educators today.

My work involved: Developing and delivering tailored learning pathways for educators and leaders Facilitating strategic planning and visioning sessions for leadership teams Supporting pilot projects, coaching, and curriculum-aligned implementation Ensuring consistency and quality across multiple delivery partners At the heart of this was my ability to bring people with me - to align vision with action, translate strategy into practice, and create learning experiences that were practical, engaging and sustainable.
