I have recently joined the Seasons team as their Junior Consultant. I bring with me a strong foundation in psychology, having completed a BPS-accredited BSc in Psychology, which fuelled my desire to bridge the gap between theory and practice. This led me to pursue an MSc in Organisational and Social Psychology at the London School of Economics (LSE). Through these studies, I gained valuable insights into leveraging psychological principles to enhance and develop workplace dynamics. Along with this, my experiences of working and traveling abroad have given me a deeper appreciation for how diverse contexts and lived experiences shape identity - which has significant implications for leadership and organisational effectiveness. This perspective guided much of my research, where I conducted cross-cultural and cross-generational studies to explore the vital connection between psychology, leadership and workplace performance.

I am a neuropsychologist with a PhD in behavioral pharmacology, fascinated by growing the potential of people in their work environment, and so I took on coaching for continuous improvement and lean-agile thinking. My credo is to help people create an environment where they can flourish and live up to their full potential. One of my principles is that, as human beings, a large part of what we do is determined by the context and contingencies at play. You may accuse me of having a slightly behavioristic approach to behavior, I am aware of that. What I see people do is an important starting point. After understanding the contingencies that drive the behavior, we can make changes to the contingencies, create a different situation, and as a result, different behaviors can develop. This enables us to drive the behavioral changes needed to further develop the organization.
