🎉 Hello! Welcome to my page 🌟

If you are looking to take on risks and learn in the process, you are in the right place. I’ve been mentoring for 3 years and there's nothing quite like witnessing the mentee’s commitment to their own self-development and growth.

As a mentor, I am interested in helping creatives pursue their passions, realise their skills potential and celebrate their achievements.

Empathic and honest. I firmly believe that fostering a sense of understanding and compassion is essential in guiding individuals through their personal and professional journeys.

Advising & questioning. Dual approach of offering advice while also encouraging you to explore your own solutions.

Visual & engaging practice. I understand that everyone learns differently, and I tailor my methods to suit your individual learning style.

Action oriented. It's not enough to simply discuss ideas; I encourage you to incorporate the insights gained from our sessions into your day to day.

Hands-on learning. I use practical frameworks and exercises to reflect on the ideas we discuss during the session.
