About Me.
‘Jack of all trades is a master of none, but often times better than a master of none’’ – This quote mirrors my own career journey; hailing from a biological background, completing two master of sciences in applied ocean science and psychology.
My biological background in animal behaviour, ecology, systems biology all attribute to the person I am today, the way I interact with the world and engage with my clients on a one-to-one level. From studying little creatures of the world to the expansive minds that we hold – I am a dedicated mental health professional with 4 years of experience and a strong scientific background.
