Throughout my life, I've had an interest in Psychology and the way the mind works. This led me to study for a degree in Psychology. Following this, I travelled to many parts of the world including South-East Asia, Australia, New Zealand and South America. During my travels, the mindsets, cultures and resilience of people around the world amazed and enthused me to strive to continually develop myself and the people around me.
