What inspired me to become a Sorted at Work facilitator: Having taught communication, literacy, numeracy and leadership in the workplace for more than a decade, teaching financial literacy is a fascinating and vital part of what I do every day.

What I enjoy most about being a Sorted at Work facilitator: I love hearing the small and huge changes that people are able to make to their finances, and therefore their security and happiness.
