Since then I have lived on multiple continents and have spent the majority of my adult life outside of my birth country. Like many of the families that I work with, I understand what it means to be frequently ‘in transition’ and to be continuously adjusting to new environmental, social and cultural norms.

Before founding The Global Faculty, I worked in international education for over 20 years. I graduated with an MA (hons) from the University of St. Andrews and also hold postgraduate qualifications in Person-Centred Counselling, and Career Development and Guidance. I am a graduate of the IECA Summer Training Institute and have completed classes in college counselling for international students at UCLA with distinction.

I am a trained CTI Co-Active coach and use techniques from this powerful methodology in my work with students, especially as we are exploring what future path might be right for them before beginning the application process. My background as an English specialist is particularly valuable in my work with students on their essential application documentation, and also in honing their ability to ace interviews.

I have considerable experience working with homeschooling and online learning students. Most universities are very open to admitting students with less traditional academic profiles and I can guide families in making sure that all their experiences are presented fully and effectively.

I am a Professional Member of the IECA – the only one based in Scotland and one of only two in the whole of the United Kingdom. I am also an IACAC member, serving on the Membership Committee 2023-25.

I work 100% remotely.

About Me

To live and study overseas is one of the greatest learning experiences a young person can have. I speak from experience: at 8 years old I found myself living on my first university campus on the other side of the world – at the Australian National University in Canberra.
