About me

About Me

I’m a career sports development professional, consultant, and advocate with a lifelong passion for helping people reach their full potential. My journey has been shaped by personal challenges, professional growth, and a relentless drive to create opportunities for others. Whether I’m working with athletes, coaches, or organisations, my mission is to break down barriers, foster inclusion, and inspire meaningful change.

​

My Story

Born with a physical disability, I learned early on how to adapt, persevere, and turn challenges into strengths. Sport became my outlet and my passion. Through hockey, I developed tactical awareness, leadership skills, and a curiosity that eventually led me to coaching. Along the way, I experienced moments of rejection and exclusion that fuelled my commitment to ensuring others don’t face the same barriers.

Growing up, I was fortunate to live abroad in diverse communities, which gave me a deep appreciation for multiculturalism and exposed me to the realities of privilege and inequality. Those experiences instilled in me a sense of justice that drives my work to this day.

​

What I Do

I specialise in workforce development, coach education, and strategy creation across sport, leisure, and beyond. From consulting with leading organisations to mentoring individuals, I strive to create environments where everyone can thrive. My work combines practical experience with a deep understanding of human development, focusing on equitable, ethical, and impactful solutions.

I’m particularly passionate about:

• Breaking down barriers to participation in sport and other industries.

• Supporting coaches and leaders to grow and succeed.

• Driving innovation in learning, development, and talent pathways.

• Advocating for fairness and inclusion, particularly for underrepresented groups.
   

Why I Care

I believe sport and education have the power to change lives. They’ve shaped mine in countless ways – from providing opportunities to fostering resilience and building community. Now, I’m committed to paying it forward. My work is driven by a desire to ensure everyone has the chance to realise their potential, regardless of their background, resources, or circumstances.
 

Outside of Work

When I’m not consulting, coaching, or advocating for change, you’ll find me exploring new ideas, sharing insights, and connecting with people who are equally passionate about making a difference. Whether it’s on the pitch, in the boardroom, or through writing and speaking, I’m always looking for ways to contribute and create impact.
 

Let’s Connect

If you share my passion for breaking barriers, fostering inclusion, and driving change, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s work together to create something extraordinary.
