Hi There

I am an Australian living in the Netherlands with a broad experience in working with people across many different backgrounds and cultures. In my professional life I started out as an English and History teacher. Following further graduate studies my family and I moved to Ukraine and taught at a tertiary education institution for five years.

​

Leading, Coaching, Training

Since moving to the Netherlands my work has included leadership of a Dutch Stichting, coaching and equipping people who were involved in cross-cultural social projects abroad. I have led cultural and team workshops and training. I have also taught English preparing people to enter into professional life here in the Netherlands. Helping people find their pathway forward to achieve their goals has been an intrinsic part of what I do.

 

This work has taken me across Europe and into several African nations providing a rich experience I can draw upon. I have had the privilege of meeting, working with and learning from people from many different countries. I enjoy travel, history, good food and good coffee, and photography. 

​

Coaching Studies 

In 2023 I completed a two-year coaching and counselling program in the Netherlands with the Academy for Coaching and Counselling which further developed my skills. I currently serve as an assistant teacher in the same program. 

​

My Approach

As a coach and trainer my starting point is you. My style is to clearly identify your needs and work in partnership with you towards your goals. I am open, empathic, empowering, as well as pragmatic in my approach. 

​

I have learned much from navigating numerous changes in my own life and work. I have dealt with the stress and challenge of living in different countries, including learning new languages. Whether it is through coaching or training I am well suited to empower you in your new pathways and in achieving your goals.
