Growing up in the Sussex countryside, my love for nature, animals, and engineering sparked my creativity and imagination. As a young, hands-on dyslexic learner, traditional schools felt rigid and limiting. My mother recognised this and took me out of school one day a week to attend The Mount Camphill Steiner School. There, I embarked on a journey of understanding neurodiversity and engaging in hands-on activities like eurythmy, gardening, drama therapy, woodwork, and weaving.

I pursued Drama at Newcastle, where I extended my learning by delivering drama workshops in Peruvian orphanages and deprived communities. My passion for education ignited while working in special education primary and secondary schools, and later at Kids Company for seven years. I specialised in working with highly vulnerable youth in therapeutic educational settings, developing hands-on activities in STEAM, entrepreneurship, and coaching in the Scottish Highlands.

For the past 10 years, I've been with the Institute of Imagination, where I've designed, tested, and innovated programmes, products and platforms using the latest tools, materials and technology in STEAM. I have worked with and visited cultural and educational institutions such as the Lego Foundation, Disney, Tate Modern, Tate Britain, MIT, The Exploratorium, and Children's Museums in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Boston. These experiences crossed with my mind-wandering nature and my understanding of people, fuel my love for visualising and transforming ideas into innovative content and dynamic, playful learning experiences.

I am truly dedicated to creating engaging educational experiences and spaces that inspire and foster curiosity and innovation through hands-on learning, problem-solving, critical thinking, and open-ended imaginative activities.
