Sharon is committed to lifelong learning and has been working in education for 20 years across universities, community and government, in roles ranging from teaching, to staff training and program coordination. She has a fascination for what makes people tick, aiming to help individuals make their 'gifts differing' work for them in both their personal and professional lives.

Sharon has made practical use of her passion for languages and cultural journeys during her travels including Japan (where she spent 3 years), Europe & PA USA, and finds working with international students incomparably rewarding. A Melbourne gal originally, she nowadays calls the delightful Adelaide home. In a bid to maintain a healthy lifestyle, she balances her work life with the joys of her furry family, nature and classical music (especially choral). To keep the grey matter fit, she studies horticulture in her spare time.
