We had the pleasure of hosting Rosemary Richings, Carlota Berlanga Fernández, Krystal-Bella Shaw, and Jessica Squires as we explored the topic of neurodiversity with our leaders at Reach plc. I felt really proud to facilitate such an important discussion with 4 phenomenal people and definitely learnt so much.

I have given talks on dyspraxia and neurodiversity for companies such as Reach Plc and the AVID (Awareness of Visible and Invisible Disabilities) program, along with panelist appearances at Dyspraxic Women's Network, Dyspraxia Magazine, and Dyspraxic Alliance events.

As a professional writer and editor, I have developed editorial content for clients such as Travel + Leisure, Shape Magazine, Happiful Magazine, Broken Pencil Magazine, Saatva Mattress Company, Lexxic, and Uptimize. ​ I have also been featured on numerous podcasts and radio shows. A more complete overview of my press and media appearances is available on my press page. 

My debut novel, Stumbling Through Space and Time: Living Life With Dyspraxia, formally released in the fall of 2022. Since its launch, the book has been loved and endorsed by everyone from The Mirror's Disabled Britain Columnist to Dyspraxia Reddit. Wellington City Library, Edinburgh Napier Library, and The Denver public Library  have included my book in their neurodiversity and mental health book recommendation lists.

What my speaking work is all about

In the mid-90s, I was diagnosed with dyspraxia. Dyspraxia is a coordination disorder that affects how you plan, learn, and process the limitations of your environment and movement-based tasks.  In every new environment I have had to  educate others on my condition, and develop the vocabulary to describe my condition in a concise and simple way.

Every speaking engagement is an opportunity to fill the neurodiversity and dyspraxia knowledge gap present in all aspects of life. That way, others don't have to work as hard to thrive at work, school, and all other aspects of their lives.

As an author, freelance writer and editor, and someone who has done a lot of different media and press appearances, your company will experience the helpful benefit of a built-in, niche audience that can make finding the right source and/ or accessing the disabled demographic a lot easier.
