I am Global Partnerships Manager for World's Largest Lesson (WLL), working with different partners globally to reach every child and young person with the SDGs. I'm based in Paris, France. I also teach in a school including running SDGs lessons there. My background is in education and media.
Darryl Evey is the CEO of Family Assistance Program. Under his leadership, Family Assistance Program has expanded to include opening the only youth shelters in San Bernardino County, opening multiple transitional housing programs, two youth drop in centers, a prison re-entry program, and an anti-human trafficking program. Each of these programs are run by survivor/leaders who represent the clients they serve. All programs are heavily focused on providing a trauma-informed empowerment approach to helping their clients achieve their own goals.

From Professional sport and the mental health sector in Sri Lanka, to health work in sub-Saharan Africa - my career to date has spanned across a whole host of different settings. The one common theme which holds these all of them together is the desire to improve other people's lives for the better.
Building upon these experiences, and my educational background in psychology, my current role at mindflick involves driving forward our research into the concept of adaptability. Working with high-performing clients, including those from professional and Olympic sport and City-leading banks, I take key lessons from the field and distil them down into simple, accessible, and useable messages to help people from all walks of life to get the best out of themselves and others across the many situations they may encounter.
