About

Primarily, my vision in life is to be of service to others.

I believe that kindness, empathy and trust serve as the foundation for a joyful life and career.

I implement this vision as an educator. My portfolio is in teaching, curriculum design, school management and training other educators.

I currently teach two art history courses at a university. I believe that art can really help us learn more about ourselves and the world around us.

I implement my vision as a committed manager with the intention to empower my team to perform to the best of their abilities.

As a certified Mindfulness teacher, my job is to create more moments of presence in the life of my clients.

I am also completing my diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling. My hope as a counsellor is to help people self actualise, self regulate emotionally and live more meaningful and fulfilling lives.

Let me know how I can serve you.
