“I’ve always been passionate about travel – the excitement of discovering new places, learning how people live in different corners of the world, and realising the positive impact meaningful experiences can create. My own journeys during university and beyond have been truly life-changing, and they continue to inspire me every day in my role at Challenges Abroad. Through my growing expertise in program design and delivery, I collaborate with passionate academics, connect with ambitious students, and support our team in developing the next generation of Global Citizens.”

“After having the privilege of travelling to Indonesia and Borneo during immersion trips at University, as well as an internship in India, I was inspired to encourage other students to step out of their comfort zones and travel. While studying for a Bachelor in International Studies, I also learnt the importance of ensuring your actions have sustainable impacts on the community around you. In my role at Challenges Abroad, I am excited to encourage and inspire other students to participate in immersions which will not only help them grow personally and professionally, but positively impact the world around them.”

“I’ve always believed the world is a classroom – and I’ve made it my mission to share that belief with as many people as possible. Having lived and travelled around the world, I bring a genuine, first-hand appreciation for what stepping outside your comfort zone can do. Before joining Challenges Abroad, I spent time at World Challenge working alongside Departments of Education, helping design and deliver programs that build real confidence – for students, educators, and communities alike. At Challenges Abroad, I bring all of my experience together: the travelled perspective, the program expertise, and a genuine belief that the right opportunity at the right moment can change the course of a young person’s life.”

“Growing up in New Zealand, Singapore and Amsterdam, and completing a university exchange in the USA, I’ve experienced how powerful it is to see the world through new perspectives. While studying a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Politics and International Studies, I learned the importance of long-term, community-driven development, and what it truly means to be the change you want to see in the world. In my role, I’m excited to meet and encourage students to take part in programs that build confidence, perspective and purpose – while creating meaningful, lasting impact alongside communities around the world.”

“I’ve never needed much convincing to head outdoors – and I’ve spent the better part of my career making sure others don’t either. With over a decade of experience, I’ve taken students to some of the world’s most remote and remarkable places – guiding not just routes, but growth. My time at World Challenge gave me a front-row seat to what happens when young people are challenged in the right way, and I’ve been chasing that impact ever since. At Challenges Abroad, I work with schools and families to open doors to extraordinary adventures. Whether it’s a first expedition overseas or a program that pushes students into new territory, my focus is always the same: creating legendary experiences that build real, lasting confidence.”

“My passion for travel began at just 16, when I took part in a four-week community expedition to Tanzania. This experience sparked a lifelong appreciation for travel, exploring new cultures and making meaningful connections with people around the world. I truly believe the impact of travel extends far beyond the few weeks you spend overseas – it pushes you outside your comfort zone, opens up new possibilities and provides an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to global communities. I’m passionate about using my role to inspire young people to take that first step and begin their own journey!”
