From NHS midwife to Dynamics developer. Building bite-size Power Platform content to help others learn, certify, and switch into tech.
I spent nearly 10 years as an NHS midwife before switching careers into tech. Today I work as a Dynamics Developer with the Microsoft Power Platform, and I'm working toward becoming a Microsoft Certified Trainer.
I'm also a technical and interview coach with Code First Girls, supporting women through career switches and job applications. Day to day, I mentor apprentices, support citizen developers, and deliver Power Platform training ranging from one-hour sessions to full-day courses.
Everything I publish here is designed to be practical, repeatable, and free for the community to use.
Follow along as I work toward AB-730 and MCT - everything I build along the way is free to use here.
Projects, study notes, and walkthroughs aligned to specific Microsoft certifications.
