A Bit More About Me

I have been passionate about people from an early age, and becoming a Coach that helps people realise their goals and dreams has been a natural progression.

I hold two degrees from UCL London, a MSci and a PhD in the field of Chemistry. I have been fortunate to work in the pharmaceutical drug development industry and in total have 13 years experience at increasing levels of seniority; my most recent position is Associate Director in Study Start Up.  

​

I thrive in environments that value the individual, and I believe in the empowerment of others to build a stronger community.  Some examples of my commitment to this philosophy are given below.  

In the years 2012 to 2017, I organised and hosted an annual science competition, CEPMaBC Be A Polymath, in collaboration with UCL Department of Chemistry, for upto 150 participants. The aim was to allow GCSE/A-Level students to experience a university environment along with exposure to the sciences, to help with making a choice about subjects to study at higher education.

In 2013 I worked with three Hounslow Borough residents to plan and launch the Feltham Food Bank.  Since opening in March 2013, Feltham Food Bank has served thousands of members in the borough, and has remained active in supporting those in genuine need of assistance.  Throughout the COVID lockdown restrictions, the committed team of volunteers remained dedicated to the aims of supporting others, and although adjustments to the operations were made to align with government guidelines, Feltham Food Bank remained open and available to support those in need.  Since it's launch, I have continued to serve the food bank and currently hold the position of Chair on the Board of Trustees. 

​

In professional and personal projects, I've naturally found myself in roles that are people centred, and find joy in supporting the growth and development of others. Over the years, colleagues, friends and acquaintances have sought guidance and mentorship in areas ranging from university course choices, to career advice, to personal relationships, to pursuing one's aspirations.  

Since formally becoming a Coach my mission is to support and empower my clients to overcome their most challenging obstacles and start living the life they want and desire. My extensive experience in industry and solid grounding in coach training means that I'm fully equipped to guide, support and assist you in building the life you clearly deserve.
