My career has been about combining what I love and playing to my strengths: learning, being creative, focusing on health, and starting businesses. It all started when I was teaching English and got involved with theatre production in Italy. This experience supercharged my love for communication, innovation, and understanding different cultures.

 

When I returned to the UK, I took a new path into wellness, working as a therapist and eventually becoming a certified coach. I  set up an integrated wellness centre, leveraging my knack for innovation and business running.

 

From 2014 to 2021, I worked in association Capita and KPMG, facilitating leadership and management skills across the UK. mainly within the public sector. I enjoyed creating spaces where people could learn, engage and network. 

 

In 2020, I faced a big challenge when I was asked to lead the UK-ICF Conference's shift from a live event to a digital one. My team and I kept all 26 speakers on board. We brought in over a thousand attendees, turning a challenging situation into a win whilst recovering the sunk costs of the physical event and creating an inspiring community event. 

 

Alongside my primary career, I got involved in audio drama podcasting by founding a company that allowed me to explore the power of narrative in new and exciting ways. This experience enriched my approach to coaching, infusing my practice with innovative storytelling techniques that resonate deeply with clients. Throughout my career, I've always wanted to learn, create, heal, and build. Each step has been about connecting with people and helping communities grow. 

 

This journey has highlighted the importance of owning who you are, leveraging your strengths, and demonstrating how aligning our true selves with our professional ambition sets us up for success in our own terms and in good faith creating a positive ripple for those who work with us or experience what we have to offer.
