Advocacy work

My advocacy is driven by a unique dual perspective: the technical precision of a data scientist and the lived experience of an autistic and ADHD educator. I believe that the "Digitalisation of Education" must be built on a foundation of neuroinclusive design and practitioner-led precision. Rather than asking neurodivergent individuals to "fit in" to existing, rigid structures, my work focuses on architecting environments (both digital and physical) where cognitive diversity is recognized as a functional strength rather than a deficit.

As the Co-Chair of the Liverpool City Region Disabled Equality Panel, I translate these principles into regional policy, providing scrutiny and advice to the Metro Mayor and local leaders. My goal is to rid the disability narrative of the notion of "brokenness," replacing it with a strengths-based model of equity. By bridging the gap between high-level policy and classroom reality, I ensure that the voices of disabled and neurodivergent practitioners are at the heart of decision-making.

Beyond policy, my advocacy is deeply rooted in Maker Education and technical implementation. As the founder of the UK’s first state school makerspace and a Bett UK 2026 Judge, I champion "Curb-Cut" design—the idea that building tools for those with the most specific needs ultimately creates better, more intuitive technology for everyone. Whether I am quality-assuring frameworks for the Global Equality Collective or writing for TES and HWRK Magazine, I am committed to creating a future where education is truly accessible, equitable, and designed for every brain.
