About me

I have over 14 years of experience working in education, including 11 years in leadership roles. During this time, I have supported children and young people with a wide range of additional needs, including some of the most vulnerable learners, helping them overcome barriers and access better opportunities.

​

Alongside my professional experience, I hold a senior leadership role in education, supporting thousands of young people to develop the skills, confidence, and resilience they need for their future. My understanding of SEND became deeply personal when my daughter was diagnosed as autistic, with ADHD and dyscalculia. From the age of four, I began navigating the EHCP process, school challenges, medical assessments, complaints, and mediation. Like many parents, I experienced first-hand how overwhelming, slow, and emotional the system can be when trying to secure the support a child is legally entitled to.

 

Living this journey while working inside education has given me a unique perspective. I understand both how the system is meant to work, and how often it fails families in practice. This combination of professional leadership and lived SEND experience allows me to support parents with both clarity and empathy, helping you understand what is happening, what your options are, and what your next steps should be.

You don’t have to navigate this alone.
