A Journey to Unlock Potential
My journey has never been a straight line. It's been a global exploration, driven by a simple, core passion: to unlock human potential. I am a thought leader, an innovator in the employability sector, and the proud founder of Grassroots to Work.

Charity & NGO
On the front lines at organisations like Street League, I used the power of sport to connect with over 500+ of the hardest-to-reach young people (NEETs) and guide them into employment and education. This taught me the power of empathy and alternative pathways.
