She has used her skills to facilitate behaviour change programs, develop and deliver training for large-scale social change initiatives, and create a world-first leadership program supporting young people with a disability to become leaders of other young people with a disability.

“I am really excited to be a part of Autism CRC’s inclusive education initiative, inclusionED. I believe inclusive teaching practice can significantly change the classroom and the learning outcomes for all students. It is an honour to be a part of such a transformative initiative that aims to support teachers to meet the changing needs of students of all abilities.”
