UX for Life Sciences Conference
Pistoia Alliance
At the Pistoia Alliance UX for Life Sciences (UXLS) Conference 2025, I compèred sessions and supported the smooth flow of events, introducing speakers and weaving connections within the UXLS community, for which I am the facilitator/lead. Through two presentations, I also highlighted the impactful work of the UXLS community and its pivotal role in advancing life sciences technology.
The event fostered a spirit of collaboration and forward thinking, inspiring valuable conversations that continue to shape UX as a critical enabler of innovation and success in the field.

The Future of Genomics: Workshops That Imagine 2050
Wellcome Sanger Institute
At the Sanger Institute, a series of forward-looking workshops brought together experts from diverse disciplines to chart bold new directions for genomics and life sciences. Facilitating two lively, two-day workshops, I combined rigorous exploration with a collaborative and enjoyable atmosphere, each focused on themes shaping the next quarter-century of biological research.
I also led a half-day session for Sanger staff, sparking conversations about the future of genomic research within the institute and exploring emerging opportunities and challenges.
She was also instrumental as a team-work mentor during our flagship entrepreneurship programme, where she brought her knowledge, experience and innovative views to the table to help our teams overcome their issues and work smoothly together on challenging projects under tight deadlines.
I would fully recommend Farah and her work to anyone looking to improve their team dynamics, facilitate complex events or workshops or as a talented and ingenious coach.

Leadership Alignment Workshop
Wellcome Sanger Institute
At the Sanger Institute, senior leaders from the strategy team sought to unite their diverse responsibilities around a clear and compelling mission. I facilitated a leadership workshop day designed to bring this vision to life.
We navigated discussions, alignment exercises, and action planning, uncovering how they could better support each other, their teams, and the wider organisation. By the end of the day, the team had forged a shared charter and practical steps to turn their renewed purpose into impactful, collaborative action.
Tailored One-to-One Support
The Future Navigating Complexity and Conflicting Demands
Supporting a Senior Professional
In a highly pressured and complex environment, a senior professional faced a relentless influx of work and competing priorities. With a process combining coaching and workflow streamlining, I helped them untangle conflicting demands and clarify what was realistically achievable. Using structured prioritisation frameworks and reflective coaching, we identified key focus areas and developed practical strategies to manage workload sustainably.
This support enabled the client to regain clarity, reduce overwhelm, and make confident decisions under pressure.

Agility Service Design & Delivery
With Innovators in Life Sciences & Technology
Enabling two leading science and technology organisations, one pioneering AI-driven drug discovery, the other advancing genomic surveillance, to unlock their agility and potential in a rapidly changing world.
By partnering closely with their talented teams, we co-created practical frameworks that brought everyone together around a clear purpose and flexible ways of working. This collaborative journey strengthened team alignment, boosted adaptability, and empowered individuals to thrive amid constant change.

Briticana Music Showcase
Briticana @ Cambridge Junction J2
At the Cambridge Junction J2 venue, I took on the role of MC for the Briticana Showcase, a dynamic music event celebrating British artists with diverse influences and heritage. I introduced performers, conducted artist interviews (and even performed myself under my stage name). Through thoughtful stage links and engaging interactions, I sought to weave the varied acts into a seamless, engaging evening that celebrated each artist’s unique contribution.
