Since 2008, I’ve worked across several sectors coaching leaders, developing top-performing teams, and delivering high-impact workshops. After graduating cum laude from the University of South Africa in Industrial Psychology, I began my career in generalist HR and went on to co-found CONTRACT SA after my business partner brought the concept from Germany. After 11 years helping profit, non-profit, and blue-chip organizations across a variety of sectors, I then decided to found Credo Growth to focus on developing high-performing leaders and teams, and we have so far worked across South Africa, Europe, North and South America, and Canada.

I have worked in various industries, however, back in 2012 I discovered a world of unlimited growth by investing in my own emotional intelligence by changing careers and becoming a personal growth Facilitator. I have had the opportunity to run interventions, in the Hospitality, Auto- Motive and Financial industry specialising in Customer Service, Leadership, Team Development and my favourite, Personal Development.  I have subsequently also gained experience in the entertainment industry which taught me to work under pressure and that there is ALWAYS a solution to every problem.

Growing up in Australia was fantastic but I always had a desire to see the world so after completing my degree I hopped on a plane to Europe and never looked back.  I have lived in Hong Kong, Singapore, London, Vancouver and have worked mostly in Human Resource positions within the Investment Banking industry.  After meeting my husband we moved to Cape Town where I have lived for the last 12 years, now with 2 children and what seems like a mini zoo in my backyard.  After spending so much time in corporate I appreciated the opportunity to stretch my wings in an entrepreneurial environment and started up my own business in 2009 which I sold 6 years later.  Now, I focus on what I really enjoy: people and creating greater self-awareness to drive personal growth.  At Credo, my role is to use the Enneagram profiling tools and insights to create that self-awareness and challenge individuals and teams to take the steps towards their own greatness.
