Bio
I am a listener who is drawn to the hidden emotions that define us. As an instructor and workshop facilitator, I see teaching as a way to share discoveries, spark ideas, and build connections. Psychology fuels my passion, inspiring me to blend it into every lesson and conversation because knowledge is not just taught, it’s felt.
I'm passionate about
I am passionate about understanding the human mind and the emotions that drive behaviour. Through the combination of psychology and art, I explore how people think, feel, and express themselves, using these insights to make learning more meaningful. Whether teaching, facilitating workshops, or creating, I love sharing knowledge and sparking curiosity, helping others connect with ideas, and with themselves on a deeper, more creative level.
An idea worth spreading
The Power of Emotional Awareness in Learning: knowledge alone is not enough. Emotion shapes how we learn, grow, and connect. By bringing emotional awareness into teaching, we move beyond facts to create lasting impact. When we recognize the feelings behind human behaviour, we teach more effectively, inspire curiosity, and foster deeper connections.
The TED story
It is about the intersection of art, psychology, and human connection. I have always been fascinated by emotions; the hidden forces that shape how we think, feel, and act. Through painting and handmade art, I’ve found a way to translate these emotions into experiences that speak to others, spark curiosity, and inspire reflection. I’ve seen firsthand how understanding feelings can transform learning, creativity, and personal growth. My mission is to use art and psychology not just to create, but to ignite change, helping people connect more deeply with themselves, with ideas, and with each other.
Things you might not know
People don’t always know that I’m deeply skilled in art, especially painting, and that I have a knack for connecting my emotions to the creations. I love working with my hands, creating handmade pieces that tell stories and evoke feelings. Beyond the craft itself, I am passionate about using art as a tool to inspire change, to help people reflect, feel, and see the world differently.
