Stepping Outside the Comfort Zone: My Journey with Rebel Business School
When I started working for Rebel Business School, I quickly realized that if I wanted to inspire others, I needed to step outside my comfort zone and lead by example. This realization became a cornerstone of my journey, shaping my approach to business and personal growth.

Living the Side Hustle
Long before side hustles became a trend, I was already supplementing my income through various ventures since 2000. These early experiences taught me the value of diversifying income streams and constantly seeking new opportunities.

Academic Pursuits and Passion Projects
My academic journey led me to study towards a Master of Information Systems at Massey University. During this time, I developed a nutritional app as my passion project. Using Machine Learning, the app correlated nutritional deficiencies with symptoms, helping users manage their health through better food choices.

Rebel Business School and the BandReady Vision
Attending Rebel Business School in 2018 was a turning point for me. It helped give me the skills to step outside of my comfort zone and develop the concept for BandReady, a virtual brass band designed for busy individuals who wanted to participate in music but were limited by family, health, or other circumstances. I was thrilled to see this concept make it to the semi-finals of Innovate 2018, standing out among over 200 entries. Facing my fears and the most lessons learned in doing the most difficult thing I had done in my life to that point has helped shape my current vision.

A Lifelong Learner and Educator
I completed a Bachelor of Design and Arts (Design Media) while studying alongside my children. My vision was to learn how to create online training videos, enabling me to pass on my years of knowledge and experience to the next generation.
