She is the founder of Projects in Prism, an organisation set up to create space for global majority women project managers at various stages of their careers to network with peers and organisations; be supported and create a nurturing, stimulating environment.

Roselyn is married with a daughter. She enjoys F1, reading trashy novels and spending time with friends and family. She wears her introvert badge proudly; with the firm belief you can be anything you want to be - as loud or as quiet as you want to be - without diminishing the impact you make in all the spaces you claim.
