You might recognise me from queuing in line at your local Melbourne cafe. Or as the youngest-ever candidate on the UK version of the Apprentice. Or from the podcast I started up during the long Melbourne lockdown of 2020. Over the course of 12 weeks, my self-deprecating Saturday anecdotes about the ups and downs in my life gathered a following of over 25,000 listeners, tuning in for my jokes, soul-searching, and little stories. One episode in particular was well-received, where I told a never-before revealed story about my trials and tribulations in the UK Apprentice show, sailing through to the finals, then my fall from grace and the repercussions through the media that followed.

Blown away by the positive feedback (so much like therapy!) that I received, it gave me the confidence to pursue my dream – Tulip Talks – combining my love for creating audio with my passion for helping people find a new way to communicate with others.
