About Me

alt text
Professionally

I believe that educators play a pivotal role in shifting mindsets and inspiring change. I strive to engage with and connect people to solve social problems collaboratively. We cannot propel the world alone. As a global community, we simply have to embrace diversity, work inclusively and focus on our shared goals to tackle the complex challenges we face today.

My focus on humanity, questions about equity & curiosity about impactful community programming began as a child growing up in rural Zimbabwe. I am a 6th generation African and strive to understand the political, economic, and social complexities of fragile nations, the long-term effects of colonization, the ramifications of violence, and the challenges around decolonisation and reconciliation.

My deep compassion for the human experience, combined with the enduring loss of having been displaced from my community, fuels my commitment to helping people and organizations collectively make a meaningful impact. I have a strong desire to work on projects that bring stakeholders together to build skills and livelihoods back home in Africa.

Playfully

I am passionate about people, culture and community. I’m off travelling whenever I can and purposely take the road less travelled to connect with people on a deeper level.

I travelled solo through Mongolia by motorbike staying with fellow nomads, hitch-hiked the coast of Colombia on supply boats, navigated the back trails of Madagascar, & traversed Asia & Africa on all types of transport. My happy place is always with the community. The picture (left) is of our students in Cambodia – the whole village helped prepare a feast at the end of the semester for us to share & celebrate.

Outside of my career, I seek out meaningful ways to support others. I currently coach neurodiverse and migrant clients, helping them overcome barriers, build confidence, and achieve personal and professional growth.
