My To Do List

striving for change

As the founder of Stymie and CEO of the charity No Hate Here Mate, my work is driven by a clear and urgent mission: children and young people should not have to carry harm in silence. Too many face difficult experiences alone, and that isolation can be devastating. I am committed to changing this reality by creating safer, supportive pathways where young people feel empowered to speak up, believed when they do, and supported to get the help they need.

Through Stymie, I’ve built anonymous tools that empower students to help-seek. Through No Hate Here Mate, I lead a charity committed to tackling dehumanisation and hate in all its forms, while championing assertive kindness, fairness, respect and belonging.

Beyond this, I deliver keynotes, professional development, and community conversations that strengthen cultures of care and challenge the norms that keep people quiet.
