I'm a lover of life and all it gives. Yes, I said that but let me tell you it wasn't always this way.

I come with over 2 decades working across education, retail, hospitality and social care sectors enjoying making a difference in service and care alongside fighting a range of work aggressions as well as adverse experiences since childhood.

Now, I stand as an applied lived experience expert because my change came when I took theory and turned it into practice in understanding adversity, the shame that it comes with adverse experiences, and in time working through those experiences that held significant impact on my life.

In all sectors, my work ethic spoke for itself, my pride came from delivering high standards as well as challenging ego led practice.

My bottom line: Connect to yourself to connect to others 

Through my personal adversities' life threw at work I built teams, improved pastoral/welfare outcomes in education and social care fields. Led in mentoring/coaching, creating manuals/resources, training NQT teachers and delivering high standards.

Since 2021, after leaving education, I have engaged in improvement programmes, training and community engagement conversations for police officers, coached retail staff and mentored professional athletes. I use my personal and professional experience to guide/shape learning and development in others.
