Summary

With lived experience as a mother of two dyslexic, neurodiverse children, a deeply personal interest in "how children learn to read" and how schools serve those who think and learn differently has been developed. This experience has ignited a profound belief about inclusive education - that all children should have the support needed to achieve their potential and thrive.

With my warm, supportive, patient manner I want to support these children and their families to achieve better outcomes. Known for energy and drive, I am someone who thrives on collaboration, bringing people together to achieve optimal results. I am detail-oriented, data driven and seek to use evidence-backed strategies to create a meaningful impact with a career change into education.
