A Little About Me:
I'm naturally curious and love understanding what makes people tick. People often describe me as optimistic, practical and full of ideas (although turning all of those ideas into reality is still a work in progress!). I enjoy helping people understand themselves better, recognise their strengths and build confidence in who they are. Coaching gives me the opportunity to support people in making meaningful changes that work for them, rather than trying to fit into someone else's expectations.
My Journey to NeuroRocket:
Before founding NeuroRocket, I worked in education, leadership, business development and coaching. Like many of the people I now support, my own late neurodivergent diagnosis helped me make sense of challenges I'd experienced throughout my life and career, while also helping me recognise strengths I hadn't fully understood. At the time, I was working as a business coach and increasingly noticed that many neurodivergent adults were facing similar challenges without the understanding, practical strategies or workplace support they needed. I wanted to create something that combined coaching, education and community, a place where people could feel understood, build on their strengths and thrive. That vision became NeuroRocket.
Beyond Coaching:
Outside of work, you'll usually find me reading, travelling, spending time outdoors or pretending I'm better at paddleboarding than I actually am! I enjoy learning about different cultures and ways of life and have been fortunate to live and work in several countries. I'm also a volunteer debt adviser, having seen first-hand the impact that financial wellbeing can have on every aspect of a person's life, particularly for neurodivergent people. Supporting others in different ways has always been an important part of who I am.
What Helps Me Thrive:
Understanding my own strengths, values and sense of purpose has been one of the most important parts of understanding my neurodivergence. I do my best work when I can connect with people, solve meaningful problems and make a positive difference. Spending time in nature, being around animals and creating space to recharge helps me stay balanced and enables me to bring my best self to both my work and home life.
Experience and Background:
I trained as a neurodiversity coach through ADDCA in New York and hold a Master's degree in Education. Alongside neurodiversity coaching, I have experience in business and executive coaching, leadership, organisational change and project management. This combination of professional expertise and lived experience allows me to understand both the personal and workplace challenges many neurodivergent adults face, supporting them to find practical, sustainable ways forward that align with their strengths and goals.
Why Being a Coach Matters to Me:
One of the greatest privileges of coaching is seeing people begin to understand themselves with greater compassion and confidence. I believe everyone has unique strengths, and coaching isn't about changing who you are, it's about helping you discover what works for you. I love supporting people to challenge unhelpful assumptions, build on their strengths and create lives and careers that feel authentic, fulfilling and sustainable.
