Summary

I am a creative individual with an attitude for life long learning. As a person with multiple interests, I describe myself as a multipotentialite. With curiosity, I thrive on new experiences and am able to connect concepts making me a good idea generator. I have at least 4 a day! I love exercise and the outdoors and regularly attend the gym, run, swim and hike. I have dabbled in climbing and have completed a half marathon. I am a meditator, and continue to seek out therapeutic experiences that help me improve knowledge of self and personal growth. As a natural empath, I am a good listener. I have been able to combine professional training and clinical experience with a welcoming persona and relaxed manner, utilising both soft and hard skills honed from my studies, clinical training and long term work experience in a niche environment that requires many interpersonal skills.


For a few years, I voluntarily ran a local community food, craft and music market. Its legacy lives on. I am in the 4th year of project managing a building project in Greece, I performed with a local band for 20 years, and I am raising a wonderful teenage daughter.



As a person of mixed ethnicity, I feel privileged to have the lived experience of a multicultural upbringing. At times, things were not ideal. Despite that, I feel abundant, and incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to continue to study and add to my skillset and competencies for career advancement and professional growth in a sector where my natural qualities and professional training can provide support.
