Guiding students and professionals to dream big, break barriers, and achieve their fullest potential. As someone who has walked a path of resilience, from being told I wouldn’t pass 10th grade to securing scholarships, leading global organizations, and helping 825+ students raise £28M in scholarships. I understand what it means to overcome challenges and rewrite your story.
Why I Mentor
Education transformed my life. Winning the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship opened doors for me and showed me the power of equitable access to education. My journey through six countries and 43 travels taught me the value of curiosity, resilience, and diversity. Mentoring is not just about helping others achieve milestones; it’s about empowering them to find their voice, believe in their potential, and thrive in ways they didn’t think possible.
What I Offer
Personalized support for scholarship and admissions applications, drawing from my experiences and helping students secure life-changing opportunities. Honest, constructive feedback to help you craft compelling SOPs, CVs, and application materials that reflect your unique story.
A safe, encouraging space to ask questions, seek clarity, and grow, not just as an applicant but as a person ready to take on the world.
What Makes My Approach Different?
My mentoring is rooted in empathy and lived experiences. From mentoring global students as President of the Erasmus Mundus Association to working on €57M innovation projects across industries, I’ve always believed in the power of teamwork and human connection. Whether you're a first-generation student navigating uncharted waters or someone chasing a new career dream, I’m here to walk that journey with you.
Let's start a conversation if you’re ready to take the next step toward your future. Together, we’ll build your applications and confidence in what you can achieve.
