About

 

My Background

I have always loved learning! Throughout my life I have embraced opportunities to develop my knowledge and skills by studying, travelling and listening to others. Some of my less conventional experiences have included living on a deserted tropical island doing marine conservation, and qualifying as a dive instructor.  

However, the last three years of my life has been a journey that I was not expecting. It has been far from easy at times but I have certainly learnt a lot and it has definitely given me an insight into myself! It has given me the opportunity to reassess what is important to me and made me realise that I am capable of achieving it. So now, I want to inspire and enable others to be their best selves!

My Approach

I am passionate about supporting individuals with their learning, including academic studies, career training and progression, or their own personal development. I want to help you to recognise your talents and channel them to get the best outcome for you.  

I offer an honest, reliable and personalised service to help you fulfil your goals. This is an opportunity for you to reflect on what matters to you. I will listen carefully to understand fully how you want to develop and I will work hard to support you to achieve it.
