I began my career in start‐up consultancy in Canada, where I became fascinated by how effective leadership impacts an organisation’s success (or not). This led me to start studying coaching in 2015. I’m now a certified professional coach and facilitator based in Scotland and I love working at the intersection between personal development and wider societal change.

In my private coaching practice, I work 1–1 with professionals, leaders and entrepreneurs who want to create a life and career in line with their values. Often my clients come to me in transition, feeling stuck or lost as they try to figure out next steps. Many of my clients have a deep sense of social responsibility or an awareness of the climate change emergency – whether or not they’re currently working in the green economy – and want some help to decide how to use their talents to contribute meaningfully. I’m also a member of Climate Change Coaches, where we see climate change as a human behaviour problem, and help people take action around it.

I’ve coached at The Journey, the world’s biggest climate innovation summer school, where we help young people think about how we might tackle climate change through entrepreneurial thinking. I also coach at Good Ideas, Scotland’s incubator for social innovation; and at The Lens; a social enterprise that develops leadership and intrapreneurial thinking across the Third and Public Sectors in the UK and beyond.
