I've spent my career helping people and organisations grow — into who they are, and who they want to become.
As a bisexual British Indian woman with African heritage who's lived across three continents, I know what it's like to navigate the nuances of holding multiple identities at once — the expectations, the contradictions, the moments where different parts of you pull in different directions.
That's what I want to help you with — understanding why it matters to you, how to get there, and what that looks like in a way that feels like you.

"The beginning is the most important part of the work" - Plato
Culture is everywhere, yet knowing where to begin can feel overwhelming.
95% of employees are lost when it comes to their company’s strategy*. They may know what they're doing, but not why they're doing it or how they should be getting there.
That's what I'm here for. To draw the map and help you get started.
What I do:
I work with individuals and organisations starting their culture journey. Whether you are building the foundations of a company or finding your feet as a leader, I help you turn big ideas into grounded, actionable steps.
Consulting
I partner with start-ups, scale-ups, and purpose-led teams to build their ecosystem.
- Defining the foundations: your mission, vision, and values, or understanding DEI.
- Applying behaviours: translating this into daily actions, clear accountability, and a lived culture.
- Developing self-sufficiency: embedding these into your DNA.
Alya was a very understanding and approachable coach. She was very respectful and inclusive of everyone. Alya infected me with her passion about EDI.
