Jon has spent over two decades guiding students in the UK, New Zealand and across the world, working in various academic roles, including Senior Lecturer, Programme Coordinator and Academic and Student Advisor. He specialises in hospitality, tourism, and business education.

Kerryn’s journey spans Montessori teaching, school leadership and business ownership. Her strength lies in organisation and people-focused leadership.

Together, they’ve hosted international students and raised five children, embracing a life of balance, travel, and purpose.

Their mission is to help others access global education and achieve success through support, experience, and encouragement.
