About

As Managing Director of Education Economy, a national education consultancy, my work focuses on education policy, system leadership, school culture and student behaviour. Much of my practice is grounded in neuroscience, child development and psychology, with a focus on translating theory into practical strategies that support both educators and learners in real-world settings.

I have more than twenty years of experience in education, working with schools and systems to create the conditions for quality teaching, engaged learning and whole-school wellbeing.
 
I am an education specialist and the author of “Disruption in Schools: Understand Me Before You Mark Me!”
 
My work has been featured in the Herald Sun, ABC Radio, 9 News, The Point, Education HQ and a range of other forms of media, reflecting a growing focus on practical, evidence-informed approaches to improving education systems and outcomes.
 
I am also a children’s author of three books: “There’s a Spider in My Tummy”, “There’s a Buzzing Bee in My Head” and “Hey Dad, the Story of Curious Scarlett.”
 
I am passionate about listening to people’s stories and advocating for meaningful, practical change in education. I bring both systems-level perspective and frontline experience, allowing me to work alongside schools to strengthen leadership, culture, behaviour, systems and processes.
