Building spaces
where curious minds
meet and expand.

That gap between knowing something and actually claiming it has shaped a lot of my life — and it is very much part of what my work is about too.

I began with a degree in psychology, drawn by an early and persistent curiosity about people: what shapes us, what makes us hold back, and what becomes possible when we stop. From there, after qualifying as a management accountant, I built a career in finance — working in senior roles across Europe for organisations including AIG, Marsh & McLennan, Aviva, and Barclays. That chapter taught me structure, leadership, and how to think clearly in complexity. I loved the clarity of numbers and systems. I was always just as interested in the human side.

Motherhood changed the direction of my life in a much deeper way. It brought me back to psychology and into the world of parenting, early childhood, and education — eventually leading me to found and run My Montessori School in London. That chapter mattered enormously. It deepened what I already knew to be true: the way we meet people matters, the environments we create matter, and the foundations we lay early on shape more than we realise.

Alongside that work, I supported parents through content on conscious parenting, child development, and education — through a YouTube channel that grew to over 14,000 subscribers and through online courses. That work still continues at mymontessorischool.london.

I have never found it easy to fit myself into a single box. Every time I have tried, something in me has pushed back.

I am interested in too many things, care about too many questions, and feel most alive where different worlds overlap. For a long time I thought that was a problem. Now I understand it as part of the work itself.

Across all of it, I kept returning to questions bigger than any one field: awareness, identity, belonging, courage, and what it means to live a life that feels genuinely true. In time, those questions became my book, 100 Days to a More Aware You — a collection of images and writings born from a desire to slow down, notice more, and learn to trust my own knowing again.

Today those threads come together through Aurelia Collective — an evolving platform shaped by psychology, education, conversation, beauty, and a long-standing belief that the spaces we create can change how we live, learn, connect, and enjoy. It is a home for carefully shaped rooms, conversations, and experiences, created for curious minds and meaningful connections.

And through Why Not Me — a speaking and live experience for the moment you decide to stop waiting and start.

At heart, my work is about creating spaces where people can meet without pretence, connect more honestly, and leave feeling more themselves. We are all outliers in our hearts. We just don't always show that part to others — and often not even to ourselves.

I still care deeply about parenting, education, and human development. I care about beauty, language, atmosphere, and the subtle things that shape how we feel in a room. I care about the quality of our lives, the courage to grow, and the relationships that make life feel richer.

I am still building from the same place I have always known best: depth, warmth, curiosity, and a love for meaningful spaces.
