Why I love MIT

I am passionate about the counselling profession. Working as a lecturer at MIT allows me to be part of a great team who work to help our students develop skills to become safe, ethical and competent counsellors.

I love the environment at MIT which offers a vibrant and diverse range of students that add a richness to the learning experience.

I feel privileged to be part of students' journeys and enjoy seeing people learn, grow and develop as they progress through the course. I feel very proud to be able to witness students walk across the stage on graduation day, especially as I know aspects of the personal struggles many of them have had to overcome to complete their degree.
