About

I am an ICF-certified Personal and Business Coach, academic leader, and published translator with over 15 years of experience in education, coaching, storytelling, and creative leadership. I blend academic rigor with intuitive insight to create empowering spaces for individual and collective transformation. Rooted in empathy, reflective action, and cultural fluency, I act as a dynamic bridge-builder in equity, diversity, and inclusion contexts.

My professional journey spans leadership roles in higher education where I spearhead academic operations and student wellbeing while facilitating workshops on wellbeing and reflective practices. Besides academic leadership, I am passionate about creative storytelling through independent films and life coaching, working closely with midlife professionals and creatives to foster self-leadership and resilience.
