About

I work at the intersection of leadership development, experiential learning, and human behaviour. Over the past decade, I’ve designed and facilitated learning journeys for adults and young people across corporate environments, education systems, and outdoor experiential settings. My work draws on adult learning principles, reflective practice, and experiential methodologies to build leadership capability, communication, collaboration, and psychological safety. A significant part of my facilitation background comes from outdoor and challenge-based learning environments, where leadership, decision-making, teamwork, and self-awareness are learned through direct experience rather than theory alone. I bring these principles into professional and organisational contexts, helping individuals and teams learn in ways that are embodied, reflective, and practical. Alongside this work, I built and ran my own WILDFIT coaching practice as a self-employed coach, supporting individuals through behaviour change, emotional regulation, food–emotion awareness, and habit formation. That entrepreneurial journey deepened my understanding of human motivation, resistance, and sustainable change — and continues to inform how I design leadership development and coaching engagements today. At the core of my work is a belief that effective leadership and meaningful performance cannot be separated from wellbeing. I’m particularly drawn to learning environments that value depth, reflection, cultural awareness, and real-world application, and I enjoy working with diverse groups in both in-person and remote settings.
