I was born in South Africa in 1960 and I currently live in The Netherlands.

Classified at birth as Colored/Indian, I experienced Apartheid in a mixed social environment which formed the foundation of my life. I fled to Europe as a young mother where I established myself and created a life for myself and my son.

Having studied IT, Management, and HR, I’ve worked for large multi-national companies in Switzerland, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. I now work as an interim manager leading global Business, IT, and HR transformations.

With a strong passion to make a difference in the lives of people, I also studied Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt Therapy and Therapeutic Counseling. So, I work as an Empowerment Coach, running ‘experiences’, group training, and coaching sessions with individuals who want to be the best they can be.

I speak English and Dutch fluently and I’ve learned to cope with the demands of work, cultural and social pressure because of my flexible attitude, pragmatic insight, and optimistic look on life.
