Education Strategist & Purpose Coach | Guiding Clarity, Courage, and Direction

About

I am a strategic thinker and natural connector, known for turning complex ideas into clear, actionable outcomes that move people and projects forward. Whether I am leading a team, stepping onto a stage, or building partnerships, I bring a future-focused mindset and a deep care for those around me. Colleagues describe me as emotionally intelligent, collaborative, and creatively courageous. I am often the person who can read a room, lift its energy, and help others shine. Humour, warmth, and honesty are at the centre of how I lead and how I live. I am passionate about work that feels meaningful. I thrive in spaces where communication, data, and human insight come together to spark new ideas and bring out the best in others. Over the past decade, I have built a career leading strategic education initiatives, developing pathways between secondary and tertiary sectors, and championing student growth and success. Now, I am expanding that work in new directions. I have begun the certificaiton process for Becoming You by Suzy Welch through the NYU Stern Initiative on Purpose and Flourishing - a methodology grounded in values, aptitudes, and economic viability. This marks a deepening of my commitment to purpose-led development, strengths-based education, and helping others align who they are with what they do. I am especially energised by work that blends creativity, strategy, and impact. Whether within education or beyond it, I am drawn to opportunities that make things better, more human, more aligned, and more future-ready.
