In 2020, I lost my voice. I would go to social events and want the ground to swallow me up. Five years later, I am a five-time public speaking contest winner, a frequent podcast guest, and, without being arrogant, I finally like the sound of my own voice.

The crux of this transformation was rebuilding my self-image and confidence. Now, I coach and mentor others to do the same.

I also serve as a Toastmasters Division Director, responsible for the growth and success of 21 public speaking clubs across the North of England.
