About

I'm a psychologist with a professional focus on how people and systems function and how both individuals and organizations can grow together. While I do 1:1 counselling, most of my work is about scaling impact through wellbeing products and programs that reach wider audiences. I’ve worked across corporate, aviation, maritime, NGOs, and startups using research, program design, and project management to make mental health a part of everyday systems. Mental health should be as natural to talk about and care for as physical health, not something we wait to address.
