Personal

Alternative Career Choice:

Growing up I always wanted to become an accountant, but initially chose the path of finance where I wanted to become a financial advisor. This soon changed as my passion for people took over my career path, and I chose to go into Training and then Learning and development.

I love to build up people and see them grow as this is really rewarding, and it’s my passion to help people and take them to the next level with an empathetic approach to their needs.
