Summary

Digital and eCommerce specialist with experience across site management, customer experience (CX), digital operations, and online growth.
I’ve worked with both global brands and small businesses, and I’m comfortable moving between digital strategy, day‑to‑day eCommerce operations, and the operational improvements that make digital platforms easier for teams to run and customers to use.
I enjoy improving online experiences, simplifying processes, and helping teams work more confidently across digital.
