Personal mentoring for creatives, multidisciplinarians, generalists, and more
I couldn’t have gotten to where I am without the insightful guidance, energising support, honest feedback, and shared experiences of those who mentored me along the way. Having a mentor who gets you and nudges you to the places you need to be is one of the single most important professional relationships you can ever have.
I offer mentoring for those starting out, anyone who wants to transition careers, or people who might just feel stuck. Think creative process, discovering your voice, squiggly careers, how to better market yourself, finding your niche, dealing with conflict, getting comfortable with negotiation, skill transfer, personal and career growth strategy, or learning to get out of your comfort zone. I lead mentoring with curiosity and compassion, and believe in radical candour and challenging norms. Queer, neurodivergent, chronically ill, disabled, or from an indigenous or colonialised background? We might have a lot in common.
I take on private mentoring clients as well as select pro-bono mentorships each year.

CSS Classes
CSS Classes is the best place to learn CSS in Berlin. An inclusive, diverse community of coders from all walks of life and experience levels come together with those wanting to learn, to foster a mutual learning experience. I took my first steps in CSS after a long time away fro the terminal at CSS Classes, and I'm grateful for the proactive, positive community that they provided to me — and I only hope I can give back in kind to those who've come after me. Run by the wonderful humans at Open Tech School Berlin and is a featured event at CSSConf EU.
