Gold Medal Grit: Journey of a Heavy Vehicle Mechanic Turned Life Coach
Join us in this episode as we explore the extraordinary journey of Louise Azzopardi, a Gold Medalist and Heavy Vehicle Mechanic turned Life Coach.

We delve into her experiences as an apprentice, and her current role as a life coach, mentor and keynote speaker.
