ABOUT OUR FOUNDER
Welcome
I founded InFutures to work with disabled and neurodivergent young adults, and their supporters, to remove barriers to work and support them to reach their full potential.
As a former FTSE 150 Marketing Director, with an MSC in Psychology, I know that 1-2-1 and group coaching have a positive impact on confidence, self-esteem and self-empowerment. All crucial skills.
I also hold positions with Autism Central/Daisy Chain (peer educator), the Learning Support Centre (specialist autism mentor), Open Country Yorkshire (trustee), and Help To Grow (business mentor).
If you would like to chat book a FREE discovery call today.
I look forward to meeting you.
