I was born and raised in Australia and studied economics and liberal arts beforing in politics. I learnt a lot in those years, but deep down knew I wasn’t being true to myself and made the big decision to quit my job and move to Europe.
At 26 years old I ended up in Berlin, making documentary films, a podcast and working as a language coach. It was in the classrooms of rural Germany that I discovered a passion for talking to students 1:1.
I realised that the patient 4-year journey I had been on in learning about myself and carving out a new career path had taught me a lot; from tools to deal with this process and how to move through it – even when you are full of self-doubt and lacking confidence.
The teen and young adult years are probably the hardest of your whole life. You don’t feel heard, are overwhelmed by all the choices and face an increasingly unstable world.
I focus on building trust and talking on eye-level. It's about helping someone know and accept themselves, to find their way through the ups and downs of everyday life and to calmly think about their future.
My goal is to be the coach I would have benefitted from having myself as a student, but never found.
