About
I’m no stranger to change. From the suburbs of Jordan’s capital and the glitter of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, to a remote Greek island and the bustle of Delhi, I’ve worked with students and NGOs, high-level executives, business-people, diplomats and ministers from around the world in corporate, government, grassroots and freelance environments.
Professionally, I’ve been lucky to be up close to change and transformation at three key levels:
The geopolitical and social level, as a foreign policy analyst in the Middle East.
The organisational and leadership level, through strategic advisory and change management in Australia.
The deeply personal level, as a yoga teacher and decades-long student, and ICF-trained coach to people from around the world.
I’ve learned that understanding each of these layers and how they interact is crucial to leading, navigating and adapting through the flux we call life.
How I got here:

Beginnings
I had the privilege of growing up in the Middle East, Cambodia and Australia, along with the third-culture kid experience of never really knowing where I was ‘from.’
By age 15, I’d recovered from the worst part of a PTSD-induced eating disorder, began yoga to cope, and channelled the rest of my anxiety into study.
A classic ‘good girl.’

Socially Acceptable Trajectory
I unconsciously chased a socially conditioned definition of success. By 23 I had everything I thought I was supposed to want: the international job, the marriage, freedom to travel.
But I was burnt out, anxious and depressed. I’d become a high-achieving perfectionist whose self-worth was entirely attached to intellectual achievement.
So yes, your favourite party guest.

New Direction
By 25, I was divorced, exhausted, and finally realised that I had shaped my whole life around what was expected of me.
So I started again, with experience.
Over the years that followed, I reconnected with myself, sought out community and purpose, and allowed space for trial and error. I studied, moved, moved again (and again), changed career, and continued stumble, reflect and learn. Each experience helped me slowly piece together a more authentic way of living and working.

Integration
Through all of these changes, I’ve come to see transformation (both chosen and unexpected) as one of my greatest teachers. Learning how to navigate endings, uncertainty, and new beginnings has shaped not only who I am, but also how I show up for others.
What I bring to my work now is a blend of lived experience and professional practice: a deep respect for the personal side of change, and the skills to support others in navigating it with courage, clarity, and connection.

Where I Am Now
We can’t stop change. It’s part of life, and it’s only accelerating. But we can build the inner capacities to meet it well: to stay grounded, to remain aligned with what matters most, and to create meaning even in disruption.
This is the heart of my work today: walking alongside leaders, teams, and individuals as they strengthen connection-to themselves, to each other, and to purpose-so that together we can shape change in ways that support personal, organisational, and collective wellbeing.
