Hi! My name is Dawn and I have graduated from the College of Allied Educators with a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling Psychology.

During my journey as an entrepreneur, I had the privilege of traversing the globe, advocating for environmental sustainability through biotechnological solutions. I worked and lived closely with farmers, producers and innovators from diverse backgrounds and cultures. It is still awe-inspiring to witness how, despite our differences, we feel the same about the beauty of the sunrise. I think we are much closer than just six degrees of separation. We are actually one.

I am driven by curiosity about the intricacies of human thought and behavior. Much like the narrative in the film ‘Sliding Doors’ I believe the subtlest change in perspective or behavior can lead us to different destinations and outcomes. I embrace the limitless potential of self-agency and all we need is a nurturing space to find that strength that resides within us.
