Freelance Corporate Language Coach

Simplifying networking for salespeople

8 years ago I made the best decision of my life...



I had just finished University but there was only one thing on my mind - to travel the world.

I left the UK for what I intended to be a year of experiential learning, however, after nearly a decade away from my home country, the learning has never stopped.

After landing in Madrid 5 years ago, I started coaching CEO- level executives using tailored business English language. Teaching was never something I was passionate about but I enjoyed the business aspect.

I had business knowledge combined with teaching experience so I started my own small Business English academy with a focus on marketing and growing the business.

Whilst working 10 hours a day as a Growth Marketer at Wayra, Telefonica, I spent an extra 2 hours in the evening working on my academy - Cordli.

The hard work paid off.

My academy doubled year on year until after 4 years, I had 100 students with one of the biggest banks in Spain.

Then the pandemic hit. Another pivot.

After 5 years of working in marketing and growth, I wanted to add another skill to my arsenal - sales.

I started working for a B2B sales consultancy.

We created a peer learning platform for sales professionals to network, learn, and grow together through expert masterclasses, virtual roundtables, and peer-to-peer sessions. I've personally grown our community to 5000+ members in 50+ countries.

The journey so far has hugely influenced who I am now. 

I will continue to strive to discover new skills, gain new experiences, and ultimately never stop learning.

"Never stop learning because life never stops teaching."

People often describe me as 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜, 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞, and I was even dubbed "The Bad Girl of LinkedIn." My social butterfly nature complements my 𝐮𝐧𝐰𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐬 on achieving results, as I effortlessly 𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞 to create opportunities anywhere I go.

I have successfully managed teams of 100+ individuals, closed deals worth up to $1.2 million, and even had the privilege of serving as Mr. Marriott's personal server.

While my professional life is thriving, my 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 is being a mom to my energetic 6-year-old, Axel. Balancing the demands of work and family brings joy and fulfillment. In my downtime, I love to hit the range 🏌️‍♀️, snuggle my two dogs, and even make it to the beach for sunrise occasionally.

My guiding motto is simple yet powerful: "𝑰𝒇 𝑰 𝑪𝒂𝒏'𝒕, 𝑴𝒚 𝑵𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝑪𝒂𝒏." I believe in teamwork and collaboration. By working together and using the strengths of our network, we can accomplish remarkable things. Building 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 is important to me, and I'm dedicated to making a 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 on the lives of those I work with.
