Summary

Former world-class professional cyclist, Olympian, and national champion, bringing the discipline, resilience, and experience formed over a decade competing at the highest levels of international sport. Post-athletic career, I transitioned successfully into high-performance coaching and mentoring through Sports Psychology, NLP and wellness fields, backed by academic qualifications and practical experience.

I’m a strong believer in continual self-growth. Combining elite lived-experience with psychological and physiological expertise to foster success in individuals and teams. Motivating key strengths through recognition and understanding contexts for others to engage and exhibit their best inter/intra-personal capabilities.
