Introducing Luminate Careers

About Me

With over 20 years of experience in the careers sector, I bring a deep understanding of career guidance, youth development, and employability strategy. My career began within the Connexions service, where I supported young people through key educational and vocational transitions. More recently, I have led Luminate Careers, working across a diverse range of school settings to deliver tailored careers education, information, advice, and guidance (CEIAG) services.
I hold a Diploma in Career Guidance and an MSc in Occupational Psychology from Birkbeck, University of London, combining practical expertise with a strong academic foundation in career development theory and psychological principles. My approach is evidence-based, person-centred, and driven by a commitment to empowering young people to make informed, confident decisions about their futures.
For a more detailed overview of my experience and achievements, please see my LinkedIn profile.
