I am a people-person - taking a people-first attitude - with over 10 years experience in leadership, people management and personal development. I grew up surrounded by adults with poor mental-health, and who were unfortunate enough to receive very little, or no help to enable healing. Therefore, I have spent most of my private life researching mental health and mentoring young-adults and adults who have been affected by mental illnesses during the course of their lives. I believe that a background with mental illness can limit most people - even the strongest - due to the trauma and tabu associated with mental illnesses - meaning that people with great potential never reach their full potential in society. I also believe that mentoring, accompanied with systematic, structured support systems, can save lives and help direct energy into empowering endeavors that can add value in society.
