Welcome to my website which aims to give you an oversight of what I do, why I do it and who I do it with.

 

With over three decades of experience working within education, the arts and the community, I am committed to supporting people to be their best. Since choosing to leave full-time employment in 2021, I have spent my time focusing on the things that I am most passionate about. I am now a qualified coach and in addition I am a volunteer, adviser and trustee for a number of projects that are close to my heart including The Brain Tumour Charity, Streetwise Opera, City of London Sinfonia and SoundVoice. I have worked with the National Centre for Creative Health and the Arts & Humanities Research Council as a Lived Experience Expert and my writing has been published by Flourish Magazine, the Global Compassion Coalition and the National Centre for Creative Health.   

​

The values that I use to guide me are courage and kindness. Individually they are impactful, but when they are combined they are powerful. I am exploring how I can live through these values in everything I do: in how I treat myself, how I treat others and how I treat the world around me.
