You\u2019ll find understanding, guidance, empathy, and support when working with me \u2014 I\u2019m an Autism Consultant<\/strong>, Additional Support Needs (ASN) Educator<\/strong>, Behaviour Therapist<\/strong>, Sign Language Interpreter<\/strong>, and, most importantly, a fellow parent of an autistic child<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My personal journey into this field began when my own child was diagnosed with autism. That life-changing moment inspired me to leave a successful career in banking and pursue an M.Ed. in Special Education followed by an<\/strong> M.Sc. in Autism from the UK<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, I work in a complex needs secondary school in Scotland<\/strong>, and I also provide consultancy as an Autism and ASN specialist for private companies<\/strong>. My goal is to support children, young people, and families through a compassionate, practical, and evidence-based approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a parent, I truly understand the emotional and practical challenges that come with raising a neurodivergent child. I\u2019m here to walk alongside you \u2014 offering not only professional guidance but also heartfelt empathy and encouragement \u2014 to help you feel more empowered, informed, and supported on your journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
