"Opportunities don't happen to people like me’’
This quote from my book, Teen Mum to CEO, encapsulates my journey. (Book due to be released in Summer 2025).
As a young mother, I faced numerous challenges that seemed insurmountable. Balancing the demands of motherhood with the pursuit of my dreams required immense determination and resilience. Despite the obstacles, I refused to let my circumstances define my future.
With unwavering support from my family, especially my husband Chris, I transformed my life from a teen mum to a successful CEO and the proud own of a Business that is 7 figures revenue driving and social social values.
My story is a testament to the power of perseverance, the importance of a strong support system, and the belief that anyone can achieve their goals, no matter their starting point. Through hard work, dedication, and the love of my family, I have built a thriving business and a fulfilling life.
I hope my journey inspires others to believe in themselves and to never give up on their dreams. No matter how daunting the path may seem, with determination and the right support, anything is possible.
Family has always been at the heart of my journey. Since marrying Chris in 2009, I've been fortunate to have his unwavering support and encouragement. As my biggest fan, Chris has been instrumental in helping me achieve my goals.
Balancing family life with career development has presented its challenges, but together, we've embraced every obstacle as a learning opportunity. Chris's dedication to our business is invaluable; he volunteers his time to our team whenever needed and ensures our family has everything we need.
In September 2007, I took a leap of faith and started university. Recognising the importance of this milestone, my brother gifted me a laptop to support my studies. Balancing university life with motherhood was no easy feat. My husband, Chris, was completing his mechanic apprenticeship, and together we juggled childcare and our respective studies.
The financial strain was palpable; we often found ourselves living on the poverty line, struggling to afford basic necessities like bread and fuel and I could not afford to attend my own graduation. Yet, it was our teamwork and shared vision for a better future that kept us going.
The university experience was transformative. It was a world where I was not just a mother or a wife, but a student with dreams and aspirations. However, I often struggled with imposter syndrome and a strong sense of not belonging.
As someone with dyslexia, the academic challenges were even more pronounced. Yet, I persevered and became a learning disability nurse and I also returned back to University in 2018 and managed to attend my graduation for the first time.
My journey is a testament to the power of resilience, determination, and the unwavering support of my family
