About

I have a wealth of life experience from extensive lifelong domestic and international travel including living and working in multiple States and cities in four countries. I have many varied qualifications, vast experience, and knowledge from working across different industries and sectors. The overarching skill sets, knowledge, and holistic mindset developed from experiencing such diverse roles in combination with my inner drive and passion for both self-challenging and continuous learning are the backbone of my success in all of these pursuits. My earlier career included working in mid-senior management positions within the Justice & Attorney Generals Department including working with the Judiciary in two countries and multi-national corporates in two countries. My career within the sports industry commenced as a Swimming Coach which led to many Head Coaching roles. I undertook ongoing further study to gain qualifications enabling me to focus on optimizing athletic performance opening a door into private coaching that organically grew into my business as a high-performance swimming consultant within Australia. This naturally morphed onto the international stage in 2014 where I work with athletes on a holistic basis across sports at all levels through to elite athletes on their national teams. A distinctive forte is creating bespoke individualized training where the periodization includes sport-specific, strength & conditioning, dryland, cross-training, and diet. I function on a holistic basis with a focus on consistently improving current performance values while also reducing poor performances to a level that is very close to athlete PB's. Key focuses are delivering high-quality services to create high-end outcomes, program excellence, creating an environment that balances hard work with enjoyment, whilst empowering others to take personal ownership!
