About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn, grow and help the planet

ABOUT ME

I'm currently working on a PhD in the area of psychology/education. When I'm not doing that I enjoy delivering talks in schools and the community.

I love the natural environment, cooking, gardening, learning new skills, reading and spending time with friend and family.

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is not perfect; it never will be. You just have to make the very best of it and you have to open your heart to what the world can show you. Sometimes it's terrifying and sometimes it's incredibly beautiful. And I'll take both, thanks"
-Graham Nash

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen some/done some pretty cool things all over the world but I have to say some of the most amazing experiences have been here in my own backyard (in Western Australia).

Walking the bibbilmum track with some friends and canoing down the Blackwood river were two standout experience that I will never forget. The simplicity of this traveling (sleeping in tents/huts) and the natural environment blew my mind.

Teach, Learn, Share

For a living I teach people how to learn more effectively, stress management, etc, so I'm happy to share any strategies and resources with you.
