Keynote Speaker

I am an experienced speaker who delivers talks and seminars to audiences of all sizes and backgrounds, in-person or online, and on a variety of topics such as business, creativity and neurodiversity. Past events include Neurodiversity Pride and the Lincolnshire Show.

Workshop Leader

My workshops on language learning, business, neurodiversity, creative writing, poetry and photography can be arranged for individuals or in groups and can be delivered online or in person. I am also available as a proof reader, beta reader and editor, or just for general advice.

One to One Mentor

When booking a confidential 121 with me in person or online, you can be assured of a sympathetic and knowledgeable mentor, whether it is for advice on your journey living with neurodiversity, channelling your creativity or just general support.

Poet and Writer

My poetry has been published online and in anthologies and I have been shortlisted for the Hammond House International Literary Prize. I also perform my poetry at Spoken Word and Literary events and festivals, and am in the process of writing a memoir.

Artist and Photographer

Creativity in fine art and photography is a passion and my work has won several awards, including being placed runner-up in the Daily Mail wildlife photography competition. Some of my work has also been adapted into audio-visual presentations.

Media Guest

I have been featured as a guest on podcasts as well as appearing on local and national television and radio and am keen to support others in business, neurodiversity and the arts.

I have recently established a collaborative podcast to help young people starting in business.
