IFuckingHateMyJob

I help people across their career journey move from stuck and unfulfilled into work that feels meaningful, energising, and true to who they are. Whether it’s navigating career change or building confidence and clarity within their current path, I support individuals to make bold, aligned decisions.

Using positive psychology, mindfulness, and systems thinking, I create calm, insight-rich spaces for reflection and movement. Over six years, I’ve coached clients in 15+ countries, led workshops, built a values-led business and created high-value career content and materials.

Certified Career Coach

You Me Bum Bum Train

Entrusted by Kate Bond and Morgan Lloyd to lead one of the most emotionally complex scenes in YMBBT’s 20-year history. From concept to delivery, I’ve shaped every part of the experience—mood boards, set builds, prop sourcing, casting, rehearsals, live direction, and performance.

This project has tested and stretched me like nothing else. Deep creative leadership, high emotional intelligence, and absolute logistical precision—all in service of transformative, immersive storytelling.


“Like going through the most glorious, neon-hued fever dream. On hallucinogenics. With a side of therapy” - The Independent ★★★★★

“One of the best artistic experiences of my life” - The Times ★★★★★

"It’s an extraordinary logistical masterpiece that will test you and surprise you in ways you didn’t know were even possible.” The Telegraph ★★★★★

"It’s theatre, but muddled: a truly extraordinary act of mass imagination and participation, all for the benefit of one person, both audience member and actor, and it’s not hard to see how it might just change their life.” - The Stage ★★★★★

“A safe space to unleash that main character energy and lean into different parts of your personality you had no idea were there” - Time Out ★★★★★

Scene Director

Parenting Teens in Uncertain Times Summit

A joyful side project I created with my friend Michael Danzansky. No one warned us how much work a 10-day online summit would be (pro tip for any future summit creators: start with three days!).

Somehow, we persuaded the likes of Goldie Hawn, Tara Brach, and Dr. Dan Siegel to join our speaker lineup—and attracted over 15,000 attendees.

Co-creator

Uber

I led content strategy for driver experience, collaborating with Design, Ops, and Legal to rebuild trust through in-app content and user comms. It stretched me in all the right ways—and clarified what I value most: integrity, collaboration, and clear purpose.

Content Strategist EMEA

I went freelance to focus on content strategy—drawn by the autonomy, creative variety, and the chance to work with mission-led organisations. I worked with some incredible clients including Cancer Research UK, Save the Children, the British Red Cross, and Careers & Enterprise Company.

Content Strategist

Eurail.com

My favourite employee role to date. I thrived on the pace, creativity, and purpose of this high-growth travel start-up, and led content strategy across multiple platforms during a time of major transformation. Huge gratitude to the two brilliant female leaders I worked under — they modelled the kind of leadership I’ve carried into my own coaching and team development work ever since.

Head of Content

Elsevier

My first foray into copywriting. Grateful they gave me a shot with very little experience—and glad I proved myself quickly in a complex, academic environment.

Copywriter

Vaughan Systems

I spent my days teaching Spanish university students the art of speaking English, often with humour, curiosity, and connection at the heart of it.

Most memorable moment: Creating a guerrilla marketing stunt for the Cannes Lions Festival. We covered the Palais and surrounding streets in yellow hazard tape to promote our CEO’s talk on avoiding cross-cultural disasters. The auditorium was full. It worked!

Career Coach to Generalists Who Fucking Hate Their Jobs 🔹 Finally get clarity on what you want to do next🔹 Certified Co-Active® Coach (CPCC)

Feel stuck in a role that no longer fits—or unsure how to grow where you are? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to stay in that place.

I’m a certified, ICF-accredited career coach who helps thoughtful, talented professionals find clarity, direction, and confidence—so they can build work lives that feel meaningful, energising, and truly their own.

Seven years ago, I burned out and left a career in tech and marketing that had once excited me. Something no longer felt right. The mismatch between who I was becoming and how I was spending my days was impossible to ignore.

With the help of a coach, I began asking deeper questions than “what’s next?”—questions like “who am I now?” and “what do I want to give this one short life of mine to?”

That journey led me to coaching. Today, my work is an intentional choice, not something I fell into. And I now help others make choices that honour who they truly are—whether that means pivoting into a new role, finding purpose within their current path, or completely redesigning their direction.


My 4-Month 1:1 Coaching Journey Supports You To:

✅ Reflect on Your Journey: We explore the values, strengths, patterns, and lived wisdom you’ve gathered so far—and what it’s pointing you toward.
✅ Define Your Vision: We clarify your “North Star”—a core vision for your life and work that becomes a reliable compass, even through uncertainty.
✅ Identify What’s Next: Whether you want a fresh career path or to evolve within your field, we’ll map your possibilities and make grounded decisions together.
✅ Overcome What’s In The Way: We work through mindset blocks, burnout, doubt, and imposter feelings—replacing them with clarity, energy, and action.
✅ Build a Bold but Realistic Plan: You’ll leave with a clear roadmap, and I’ll be by your side as you start to take meaningful steps forward.


I'll let my clients to blow my trumpet..
