About

As someone who has experienced several career changes, I know just how challenging it can be to find your way forward.  

Originally I thought I’d be an accountant and studied a degree in Economics and Accountancy. But my first job was a 6 month contract in a local radio station teaching road safety. Next I was a Saturday morning children’s tv presenter before becoming a documentary producer and director, getting nominated for a BAFTA and co-founding an independent production company. After spending time at home with my children, I had a stint as a PR assistant and researcher for an education consultancy. Then I went back to university to study a Master’s degree in Career Development and Coaching Studies and I started another career as a career consultant working with university students.

What ties all of these together is my fascination with people and the stories that we tell ourselves and others. As a career coach, it’s my wish to help you craft your own meaningful life narrative.
