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, translating research into practical strategies that support educators and learners in real-world settings.

Over more than twenty years, I have worked across classroom teaching, school leadership, system leadership, higher education, government, community services, education policy, implementation and independent education consultancy. This breadth of experience enables me to connect the realities of classrooms with system leadership, public policy and organisational improvement.

I am the author of Disruption in Schools: Understand Me Before You Mark Me! and three children’s books: There’s a Spider in My Tummy, There’s a Buzzing Bee in My Head and Hey Dad, the Story of Curious Scarlett.

My work has been featured in the Herald Sun, ABC Radio, 9 News, The Point, EducationHQ, Education Matters Magazine, Teacher Magazine and across national and international podcasts, contributing to conversations about evidence-informed education policy and practice.

I believe evidence has its greatest impact when it is translated into practice. I work alongside schools, organisations and governments to bridge the gap between research, policy and practice, helping strengthen leadership, culture, behaviour and organisational capability.
