As a Youth coach, Quinn has a strong background in working with young people, beginning with her volunteer experience from a very early age. She has spent most of her life volunteering in youth centers and working with underprivileged young people. Her experiences with Extend-a-family, Homelink and Knights Youth Centre give Quinn a certain ‘edge' dealing with the issues of today's youth.

As a Business coach, Quinn excels in the areas of leadership, strategy development, communication skills, project management and building relationships amongst business partners, teams and organisations. In addition, she specializes in building a brand and creating an online presence. She delivers coaching to budding and established entrepreneurs, and delivers enterprise workshops within higher, further and secondary education.

This was built by Quinn and a few others from the ground up. As the acting President of this small organization, Quinn can be found in the accounting department, events co-ordination and general project management.  

Quinn is trained by the Coaching Training Institute, Make Change Work and Coach U and is a qualifed Co-active coach and NLP Practitioner.
