Summary
Having dedicated over 20 years' work experience supporting front line workers, like-minded organisations, and educational improvement within charitable sectors, my main goal both professionally and personally is to develop the confidence, competence and capacity of those overcoming challenging situations and to enable them to thrive in life. In that same spirit, I decided to take a hiatus in 2024 and focus on loved ones (including myself).
