About Me
Career Coach, Personal Branding Strategist, Entrepreneur.
I teach you how to build a career that's fun, purposeful and profitable.
Overworked, underpaid and living for the weekends.
My life looks completely different now.
I’ve built a career that gives me real impact, real fulfillment, and and the freedom to live in a way that aligns with my values. I back myself. I know what I bring. And I don’t hate Mondays anymore—because I actually enjoy the work I do.
And now I want to help other professionals just like you do the same.
From beginning in small university town in the North East of England to becoming a 6 figure business owner in France…
After graduating from a top French business school with a degree in International HR Management, I landed what should’ve been a dream job—HR Coordinator at EDF, one of France’s biggest energy companies.
New job, new country, new language. I was excited, ambitious, and ready to take on the world.
Three months later, reality hit hard.
The role was nothing like I expected. My boss was a bully. The culture was toxic. There was no room to grow, no space to learn, and no support. I felt stuck.
I kept telling myself to push through—that it would get better. It didn’t. It got worse.
The longer I stayed, the more it wore me down. My motivation disappeared. I was constantly stressed and questioning myself. What I thought was the start of a promising career started to feel like a dead end.
I was stuck between two hard choices: stay in a job that was draining me—or quit, with no plan, no network, and no safety net in a country where work as an expat wasn’t exactly easy to come by.
But deep down, I knew the truth: this wasn’t sustainable.
Nothing was going to magically get better. And I wasn’t willing to settle for being miserable.
So I made the call. I quit.
No backup plan, no perfect timing—just a clear decision that I deserved better. That moment was the start of me taking back control of my career—and my life.
2016
I stayed in France and started teaching English on the side to earn some extra money between jobs.
What surprised me? I loved it.
So I went all in. Got my TEFL certification and turned that side hustle into a real skill—and a new direction for my career.
2017
I landed a full-time teaching job at a big language school in Rennes, the capital of Brittany.
For a while, things felt good. But the honeymoon didn’t last.
Soon enough, I saw the reality: a zero-hours contract that exploited me, minimum wage pay, and a boss who expected me to “prove myself” by putting up with it all before maybe getting better terms.
2018
I learned one hard truth: companies don’t change their culture for you. So I quit my full-time job and bet on myself.
I launched my first entrepreneurial venture—Espace Lingua—a language school for individuals and organizations who want to speak confidently, naturally, and get results in their careers.
From zero, I grew Espace Lingua into a six-figure business with prestigious clients and recruited a team of 10+ teachers across France.
Working as a Business English trainer, I coached people one-on-one and in small groups—from fast-moving startups to established companies. On the surface, it was about improving their English. But it went deeper. I helped them navigate the international job market, prep for interviews, polish resumes, and crush self-doubt.
Those experiences sparked a new passion—and led me to get professionally certified as a Career Coach.
2020
I completed my coaching certification and officially became a Professional Career Coach.
Then I hit pause—to get crystal clear on who I wanted to serve and how to tailor my offers to make the biggest impact.
2021
I saw a glaring gap in the market: career advice for professionals who want success without sacrificing their happiness and well-being.
That’s exactly what Project Dialogue is built for.
It’s about giving you the strategies, systems, and tools to design a career that delivers the fun, purpose and profit you deserve.
More than that, it’s about putting you in the driver’s seat—owning your career and finding work that fits with your life—not the other way around.
Wondering why it’s called “Project Dialogue”?
Because at its core, this is a conversation—between you and yourself, and between you and the world. It’s how you uncover who you really are and what you truly want. And only then can you build a life and career that reflect your unique version of success.
There’s too much career advice out there that tells you to hustle harder and sacrifice more. I believe your success shouldn’t come at the cost of your sanity.
There are way too many people out there stuck in jobs they find unfulfilling and draining – I firmly believe everyone deserves to do work that is fun, purposeful and profitable, not just tolerable.
→ Because countless talented professionals are stuck in roles that don’t align with their skills, values, or goals—leaving their potential untapped.
→ And because life’s too short to spend it stuck in a career that drains you.
It’s time to bust the myth that success means sacrificing happiness.
By helping global professionals build careers they truly enjoy—careers that align with who they are and what they value—I’m building a workforce that will shape the future of business with more humanity, empathy, and sustainable success.
I grew up with football boots on my feet and piano keys at my fingertips.
Football was my first love—playing from the age of 4 and later competing with my local team. I’m a big Newcastle United fan, and there’s nothing quite like the buzz of a home game at St James’ Park.
I’m also a classically trained pianist and studied Music at university before diving into the world of career development.
While studying for my Master’s, I worked part-time at an Irish bar in Brittany to help fund my studies. The plan was to finish my degree and head back to the UK… but then I met my (French) husband. That unexpected twist changed everything. Now, we’re happily married and split our time between France and the UK with our beloved Labrador, Maurice.
When I’m not coaching, you’ll probably find me walking in nature, booking a trip or discovering a new foodie spot.
My non-negotiables: strong coffee in the morning and a cuddle from Maurice.
My core beliefs: learning never stops, curiosity is a superpower, and life’s too short to take yourself too seriously.
