I don’t just understand neurodivergence - I live it.

This lived perspective is at the heart of everything I do.

career snapshot
Across 25+ years in education, I’ve worked in roles that centre children, families, and learning diversity:
Educational Specialist, Deniliquin Speech Pathology
Parent Support Worker, Transcend Australia
Assistant Principal
Literacy Instructional Leader & Additional Needs Lead Teacher
Owner / Operator, Messy Mind Education (2017–2019) — where my passion for neurodivergent advocacy first took shape.
Across these roles, I’ve supported children with distressed behaviour, complex learning profiles, trauma backgrounds, ADHD, autism, giftedness, and everything in between.
Today, I use all of this to support others.
Through coaching, writing, art and advocacy, I help beautifully different minds find clarity, confidence and calm — in ways that actually work for their brain.
