With 26 years of experience in education, I’ve taught and coached both in and beyond the classroom across diverse international settings. I began my journey as a PE teacher and coach, building strong relationships through sport and mentoring students and teachers alike. Over time, my passion for guiding young people led me to transition into university counselling and career pathways advising. I now work closely with students to help them navigate their futures with clarity and confidence. I have a particular interest in student-athlete admissions and supporting young people as they pursue high-performance sport alongside academic ambition. My approach is rooted in real-world guidance, honest conversations, and empowering students to make informed decisions. I’ve presented at global conferences on mentorship, future pathways, and athlete admissions. I believe the work we do as educators should equip students not just for school, but for life.
