Performance has always been an important part of my life. Growing up, I had 2 main passions – music and sport. I started playing the violin and piano at the age of 7 and played in orchestras, performing regularly and touring in Europe most summers. I achieved my grade 8 violin and went on to do a music degree at university. Once there, the level of competition massively increased, and I enjoyed the challenge of gaining a place in the 80-strong university orchestra, which over 500 people auditioned for.

At the same time, I had continued to focus on sport, particularly athletics, and I became Vice-Captain of my university athletics club and competed in the British Universities Sports Association championships.  In both my music and my sport, I learned how valuable it was to have a coach whose role was to challenge, support and stretch me to do better, and to help me focus on exactly what I wanted to achieve.

This led me to realise that I had a passion for wanting to help people to improve their own performance. I started my career working in HR in the music industry. I went on to work in learning and development, and it was here that I found my niche –creating opportunities for people to identify how they could improve performance and reach their potential. Since 2014, I have focused purely on facilitation and coaching, working with managers, leaders and their teams, enabling them to raise their bar and create high performing teams and environments.
