About me
My focus is on doing important work together, supporting collaboration and teaming and strategies to effectively, successfully navigate a working life. I enjoy the challenge of helping others find their own pathways, as our lives are inevitably buffeted by challenges, achievements, setbacks and all the uncertainties all along the way. I am currently studying counselling and nursing to support mental health.

Transformation happens
sometimes when we seek it, sometimes it is required of us.
And while endings are rarely easy, endings do imply beginnings.
