Fun Facts About Me
My eyes change colour depending on my mood
A doll once tried to kill me
It's true! Okay, maybe not literally, but I'm absolutely convinced that dolls are secretly plotting world domination. Their creepy stares and eerie grins are just a cover for their diabolical plans. Every creak of the floorboards is like a sinister whisper of their nighttime scheming. Call it intuition or just plain paranoia, but I can't shake the feeling that these dolls are up to something far more sinister than meets the eye. Burn them all!
I have a special power
My autism grants me a remarkable gift: the ability to deeply understand and empathise with others on a level that few can comprehend. It's this intuitive insight into people's thoughts and emotions that sets me apart as a coach, allowing me to forge powerful connections and offer truly impactful guidance. While my autism may present challenges at times, it also grants me a unique power to help others unblock hidden hurts and navigate their journey towards healing and growth.
I was on the most-wanted list
Once upon a time, I unexpectedly found myself on a most-wanted list. While I'm tempted to share the full tale, it's one of those stories best left to the imagination. However, I assure you, there's no cause for concern; I'm certainly no criminal mastermind. Rest assured, my name was successfully cleared from the list. But if you're curious about the details, perhaps over a cup of tea, I might be persuaded to share more of this captivating saga.
Madonna once duetted with me
It was in a karaoke bar and Madonna was singing on the screen, so I joined her. You thought in the flesh, right? Anyhoo, you'll often catch me singing "Black Velvet" at karaoke nights, where I love showcasing my vocal range and adding my unique flair to the performance. Whether effortlessly hitting those high notes or injecting my style, I enjoy expressing myself through music and bringing joy to others. So, if you need some entertainment, just cue up 'Black Velvet, and I'll happily share my passion for creativity and authenticity through song.

My Vision
Isn't it wild how we live in a world where everyone's got an opinion, but not everyone feels safe expressing it? It's like we're walking on eggshells, afraid to speak up for fear of getting canceled or shut down. And let's be real, that's no way to live.
I remember being a kid and feeling like my voice didn't matter. Adults would tell me to hush up and stay in my lane, and it messed with my head big time. It's no wonder so many young people today struggle to speak their truth – they're taught to believe their opinions don't count. But guess what? They do. And it's high time we started listening.
That's why I'm all about Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which basically says every kid has the right to speak their mind and have their thoughts taken seriously. And don't even get me started on Article 13 – freedom of expression, baby!
So here's the deal: my vision is to ensure that all young people globally have their own Anger Advocates and to train mental wellbeing professionals as Positive Anger Coaches, so they can make sure that every young person knows their voice is powerful and worth hearing.
Because here's the thing: when we empower kids to speak up and own their anger, we're not just building strong individuals – we're building a generation of emotionally intelligent, confident adults who know how to communicate without resorting to violence.
And that's how we change the world, one voice at a time.
My Position
As a trailblazer in anger-informed coaching, I founded Ascend Together CIC with a bold vision to improve the lives of young people affected by anger. Dedicated to the promotion of positive anger in schools, I have changed how teachers respond to aggressive behaviour and disruptive classroom situations.
Armed with a master’s degree in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology, I'm currently delving into the intricate realm of anger psychology in education through my ongoing PhD research. Juggling multiple businesses can be daunting, yet immensely fulfilling. My entrepreneurial journey has been adorned with accolades, recognising not only my business acumen but also my commitment to social development.
In addition to my scholarly pursuits, I've contributed to the academic discourse by penning a chapter in the esteemed book Addressing Multicultural Needs in School Guidance and Counseling, and crafting insightful articles on nurturing mental wellness for Brainz Magazine. Beyond academia and entrepreneurship, I'm a TEDx speaker (see below), wielded brushes as a painter, and embraced the whirlwind joys of motherhood to four incredible people.
And yes, nestled within this tapestry of endeavours and achievements, I proudly navigate the world as an autisitc entrepreneur, adding unique depth and perspective to my journey.
My Fruition
In my journey, I've wrangled with challenges and danced with victories, transforming doubt into determination along the way. Picture this: a time when my ideas were deemed too wild, too unconventional to succeed. Yet, instead of bowing to skepticism, I let it fuel my fire. I took risks, tripped over failures, and in the end, birthed a thriving business that defied the odds.
But let's not stop there. Another chapter unfolds where I dared to dive into advocacy and mentorship, despite the doubters whispering in my ear. I stood firm in my belief that I could make an impact. I poured my heart into empowering young souls, sharing my tales, and amplifying their voices. Witnessing their metamorphosis, their bloom into brilliance—that's the sweetest victory of all.
These triumphs aren't just about ticking off goals; they're about the grit and growth I've cultivated in the process. With every stumble and every soar, I've morphed into a force to be reckoned with—an unyielding, audacious soul who thrives on turning challenges into stepping stones.
