I made AI workable. Now I make it defensible.
As an AI governance advisor and Oxethica-Certified AI Auditor, I advise organisations on EU AI Act readiness, making accountability clear and the evidence strong enough to stand behind.
My approach combines ethics with regulation. Even full compliance will not make your governance credible in practice.
Where this usually starts
Accountable for what you never saw
AI decisions are being made in your name, and nobody can say who owns them.
Defending a position you did not set
The answer has to come from you, on evidence you have never been shown.
Assurance that is not your own
Regulators want proof, and it cannot come from the people who built it.
Speaking
Keynotes, panels and leadership sessions on AI governance and the EU AI Act. My speaking engagements are managed by Women of AI. Book me for your next event.

Testimonials
We needed a highly interactive workshop that would build our team’s confidence in using Copilot 365, and Tara delivered exactly that. The main upskill has been around the creative use of prompting strategies and the confidence to experiment with these.
The virtual breakout rooms were a great way to embed learning, enabling discussions with peers and colleagues facing similar challenges.
Two other key benefits? The safe space to highlight challenges and the supporting reference materials that reinforced the learning.
I’d absolutely recommend Tara as a workshop leader: 9/10!

Tara’s AI workshop for cardiologists was engaging, insightful, and packed with real-world applications. She broke down AI’s role in professional and personal contexts, making complex concepts practical and easy to apply.
The session was highly interactive, with live demonstrations, cardiology-specific AI prompts, and hands-on exercises in summarising literature and creating PowerPoint presentations with AI.
Participants valued the additional resources and Q&A discussions, which provided clarity on how AI can support their work.
