As a writer I know what it takes to tell a good story. As a coach I have a passion for problem solving and helping others. As an academic I have the science and philosophy to support my methodology. This intersection of creativity, coaching and academia ensures my work is robust and long-lasting. My pronouns are they/them.

Public Speaker: Highlights include sharing a panel with actress Vanessa Redgrave at her inaugural Humanitas lecture at Oxford University, being interviewed at the Southbank Festival of Ideas and speaking at Kneehigh Theatre’s Asylum in Cornwall.
