About me

I believe every learner deserves to be seen.

I'm an educator, peer mentor and neurodiversity advocate with 15 years of experience across mainstream primary schools, specialist ALN settings and pupil referral units. I hold a PGCE in Primary Education from the University of Brighton and a BA in Journalism from City University, London.

I may be on the autism spectrum and have ADHD — lived experience that shapes how I teach, mentor and advocate. I'm particularly drawn to roles in education, mentoring and counselling support where I can help young people and adults navigate challenge, build resilience, and find their own path.
