I have spent many years in academic and social change work. My research in creative education has trained me to be curious, rigorous and open to new concepts. My social change work on gender equality, refugee rights and LGBTQI+ community building has given me the opportunity to challenge structural inequalities and their impact on marginalised groups, develop my critical thinking, and practice cultural humility.

I have been living in Prague since 2003, so I have an insight into Czech culture, but the experience of being foreigner gives me an outsider perspective that enables me to uncover blind spots and challenge assumptions.

I was inspired to become an art therapist by a desire to combine compassionate, empathic personal connection with the transformative power of creativity.

My values

integrity – humility – connection – kindness – courage – community – hope
