She is passionate about supporting parents in one of their most challenging and important roles - guiding their daughters through their adolescent years. She completed a Diploma of Positive Psychology and wellbeing in Melbourne, Australia.

Her current project is REAL (Real Excellence & Attitude for Life) The Science of Character Program. It is a character and virtues program used in Tangara School for Girls in years 7-10.

She hopes to promote a more engaging and compelling case for young people to live a life of virtue, grow in character and ultimately live happier and healthier lives.
