Experienced leader in SEN with a focus on strategic initiatives and EHCP funding processes. Skilled in developing and implementing IEPs, with in-depth knowledge of SEND legislation. Proven ability in multi-agency collaboration and staff development, alongside a strong record in data analysis to drive SEN outcomes. Dedicated to fostering inclusive education through quality-first teaching methods and strong communication.

• Founder of Roots to Rise - a developing wellbeing and movement programme integrating mindfulness, yoga, and emotional literacy into schools.
• Volunteering: Led HIV/AIDS awareness workshops in Zimbabwe (Restless Development, ICS UK).
• Cultural adaptability: Professional experience across the UK, Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa.

Outside of my professional role, I enjoy yoga and mindfulness, which support my own wellbeing and inspire my interest in integrating calm and resilience strategies into education. I am passionate about cooking, which reflects my creativity and appreciation of detail, and I have a strong enthusiasm for travelling, having lived and worked internationally. These interests reflect qualities I bring into my professional life as a SENCo: adaptability, cultural awareness, and a holistic approach to supporting young people and school communities.
