Haar werk richt zich op het betrekken van adolescenten via inzichtelijke benaderingen, voortbouwend op uitgebreide ervaring in communicatietraining en teambuilding.

Haar toewijding aan jongeren blijkt uit haar vrijwilligerswerk en haar lopende projecten gericht op het aanpakken van de problemen waarmee jongeren te maken hebben.
