Professional background: 
I am passionate about and possess experiences in establishing and delivering transformational experiences through Sport, Education, Student Engagement and Social Impact. This is achieved through strong partnership engagement.

One of my proudest programs was establishing and leading a Cultural Experience Program to Cambodia for five years.

With students studying their physical education teaching degree, they were provided the invaluable experience of delivering sport programs (including PE, swim lessons, first aid and sports gala events) in the impoverished community of Stung Meanchey, gaining unique insight into the positive impact that their skills could contribute to a disadvantaged community.

•    Engaging with incredible young individuals that excel both academically and, in their sport. 
•    Collaborating with our sporting partners to contribute to a positive student experience.
