  • I share this with you to give a flavour of the experiences I bring to the table. All of these moments, both big and small, shape how I approach life and how we’ll work together. But more importantly, I share it to offer hope. No matter where you are right now, the choices you make can lead you to be or do anything you want. And that is truly exciting.

    A taste of my journey, in no particular order: Army Officer, Chef, Operations Manager, Executive Assistant, Chalet Host, Clip-on Hair Salesperson, Social Media Manager, Comms Manager, Life Coach, Massage Therapist, Company Secretary, Personal Trainer, Body Therapist, Project Manager, Recruitment Officer, HR Manager, Business Consultant, Workshop Facilitator, Leadership Consultant, Executive Coach, Coaching Skills Trainer.

    I’ve worked in big organisations, small startups, and everywhere in between. I’ve created new roles, recruited CEOs, and helped build teams from scratch. I’ve run the gamut of HR, finance, and operations in the Army, mentoring an Afghan Army Officer in a conflict zone. I’ve survived and thrived in male dominated environments, experienced workplace bullying and sexism, and climbed the career ladder into roles my ego loved but my heart truly didn’t.

    I’ve also lived through deep unhappiness, burnout, chronic pain, and poor health. But I’ve worked hard to find happiness, (almost) pain free living, and good health. I’ve had multiple joint surgeries, cycled epic routes across Europe and the US, raced down alpine slopes, and pushed myself far beyond my comfort zone—whether climbing mountains or facing my fears of water and heights. I know what it’s like to feel comfortable and what it’s like to have no idea what’s coming next, and to be absolutely ok with whichever piece of that journey I'm on.
