Hi, I’m Cheryl, and I know exactly what it feels like to push through challenges without a support system. My journey began with a deep love for exploration and problem-solving, leading me to a career as an engineer in the humanitarian sector. I spent years working overseas, including five years in East Africa, where I was often the only woman in the room.
It was during a particularly challenging time in Kenya, feeling isolated and unsupported, that I realised the profound need for a community where women like us could come together, share experiences, and lift each other up. This led me to create Brazen—a space where bold, ambitious women can find the support, recognition, and guidance they need to truly thrive.
Through my work as a technical trainer and my experiences with Silverbirch—a symbol of resilience and renewal—I’ve developed a deep passion for helping leaders like you rise above the grind. Brazen is my way of bringing that passion to life, helping you connect, grow, and lead with purpose.
