Mentoring & Coaching
Part of my own personal journey is helping others with theirs. For this reason i'm a youth mentor with both Raise and ABCN.
​
In addition I provide personal and career coaching to those looking to benefit from my experiences.
Since 2008 , Raise has delivered over 1,200 early intervention, evidence based youth mentoring programs in schools across Australia.
​
Raise has recruited, screened and trained over 10,000 volunteers to become youth mentors before matching them with students who would benefit most from having a trained and trusted adult who shows up for them each week of the 20-week program.
​
Every program is managed by our qualified Program Counsellors who oversee the smooth, safe and successful delivery of programs.

Our vision is for all young Australians to reach their potential, regardless of socio-economic status.
​
The Australian Business and Community Network (ABCN) is a purpose-led, not-for-profit organisation. We connect students who face structural barriers in education and work because of their socio-economic background with volunteers from our member companies in fully facilitated, workplace-based mentoring programs.
​
Students from the low ICSEA schools we work with often have limited access to corporate role-models who can demonstrate a variety of career options, so mentors sharing their own career journeys and challenges can make an enormous impact.
