I am passionate about helping others and have worked in the NGO and education fields for over 15 years, supporting organisations such as Action Against Hunger and The British Red Cross. My work has comprised a diverse range of projects helping children and adolescents, refugees and migrants, people with mental health issues, and those with learning and physical disabilities. Prior to this, I engaged in several volunteer community projects around the world, from India to Uganda, giving me first-hand knowledge of the challenges and rewards in this space. When I’m not busy coaching and mentoring, you might find me organising language-learning events on Meetup, coaching budding football players, or volunteering as a career coach at Effective Altruism Finland, where we help individuals maximise their positive impact on the world.
