Author, adventurer, and lifelong learner. I was born in a small town in Yorkshire, where my journey began.

My childhood wasn’t easy. Breaking away from the norm meant growing up faster than most, facing challenges that taught me resilience, strength, and the importance of compassion. These experiences have shaped who I am today — deeply passionate, caring, and determined to make a difference.

Alongside many other roles I’ve held over the years, the one I’m most proud of is being a foster carer. Throughout my life, I’ve balanced various jobs and responsibilities, but fostering has remained a constant and deeply meaningful part of who I am, supporting children and young people through some of their hardest times. This role has given me invaluable insight into life’s complexities, and inspired me to work with orphanages around the world — helping to bring hope, care, and opportunity to those who need it most.
