“I do what I do for two main reasons:

1. I believe that every person in the world deserve to gain skills that allow them to be happier, more resilient, and to believe in themselves so they can live the life they dream of having.
2. I believe that schools are meant to be safe, joyful and fun places where relationships and wellbeing are prioritized, passions are cultivated, and vulnerability celebrated.”
