Associate, Future Foundations

Shenel is an Education Specialist trained in emotion coaching on a mission to teach young people to be resilient, kinder and more compassionate.

With a BSc in Psychology and  MEd (Masters of Education) her journey began in the classrooms where she taught for 13 years in both the state and private sector. She was quickly promoted to Head of Department and ran many extra-curricular activities alongside her main teaching role. Her passion in schools was empowering students to be the best version of themselves by explicitly teaching life skills to deal with life’s challenges.

Since having children in 2017, Shenel has trained parents, teachers and young people to build mental resilience and emotional wellbeing alongside two leading charities in the field of wellbeing.

Shenel is very excited to be part of Future Foundations vision on empowering young leaders through Global Social Leaders and the incredible CanTeam project that is a real life version of the literature on wellbeing. Let’s bring communities together to eat and thrive!
