Work or SAHM: I am currently the CEO and Co-founder of TutorTime and ClassTime and also the founder of the You Can Sit With Me programme (YCSWM). My lifelong vision has been to foster and nurture children as they seek an education. As a qualified teacher, I continue to mentor and tutor children with care and passion. Students wellbeing comes at the highest priority for me and for this reason I established the anti-bullying organisation, YCSWM. This inclusive and kindness campaign is being utilised in schools, sporting clubs and community groups.
Motherly advice Be kind and empathetic as you never know other people’s struggles, stand up for your values and never give up.
