Contact me if you are looking for unique and positive solutions for your child who is not making progress with their learning or finding it difficult to fit in with school and home expectations.  
I grew up on the Kapiti Coast just north of Wellington.  After High School I attended Massey University, in Palmerston North, where I completed a BA in English Literature.  During 12 years living, and working in the UK, Europe and the USA I trained as an English teacher, and a Special Education teacher, completed a Masters degree in Special Education, got married and had two children.   ​
On return to New Zealand, I trained as an Educational Psychologist and Resource Teacher of Learning and Behaviour and gained further experience in primary, intermediate and secondary education. I have experience working with a wide range of primary to secondary school aged students, their families and teachers. 

During my 7 years as a Practice Leader at RTLB Cluster 11 I was involved in the following:
  • Developing an intervention to support oral language in new entrant students.
  • Collaborating with Ministry of Education to develop an Early Childhood Transition to school programme.
  • Developing a framework to support students working long term at level one of the New Zealand Curriculum.
  • Leading professional development to Special Needs Coordinators in a range of areas such as inclusion and working memory. 
  • Training a wide range of schools in Positive Behaviour for Learning for the Auckland Metro area in 2016 and 2017. ​
  • Developing the systems to successfully achieve the goals of a transformation of the way the RTLB provided service to students and schools.
I am a ​member of:
  • NZ Psychological Society
  • The Institute of Educational and Developmental Psychology (IEDP), Chairperson
