I am a creative educator, a neuro-divergent thinker, and a connector of people and ideas.
An award-winning lecturer and consultant, an expert in Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and Cultural Intelligence (CQ), I am the Founder of Mindful Onwards and I specialize in developing emerging leaders.
Until recently, I was a tenured lecturer at the University of Sunderland in London, where I empowered the next generation of industry leaders with the hard and soft skills needed to succeed in a complex world.
I work with the Corporate, Not-For-Profit, Higher Education, and Healthcare sectors, and I help leaders navigate organizational and cultural complexities to create thriving work cultures and foster team success beyond borders.
I develop and deliver Leadership, Emotional Intelligence, and Wellbeing training programs (face-to-face and online), workshops, and keynotes based on published research in psychology and neuroscience.
I am also a Certified Teacher of Search Inside Yourself – the neuroscience-based emotional intelligence, attention training, and leadership program born at Google and accredited by the International Coaching Federation.
My clients’ list includes top Universities such as London Business School (UK), University Paris-Dauphine London Campus (UK), or Johns Hopkins University - Neuroscience Scholars Program (USA), and businesses such as Unilever International, MSC, or Trust Pilot to name a few.

I believe self-knowledge and self-actualisation are the foundations of a life well-lived. So I facilitate self-discovery, inspire and empower personal and professional growth by curating, designing and delivering transformative and life-affirming programmes with impact, kindness, and humour.
"Ichi-go, ichi-e" literally "one time, one meeting" a Japanese expression I learned from my Butoh teacher, Atsushi Takenouchi, which helps me remember to appreciate each moment and each encounter as it is unique and will not repeat itself.
