In 2024 I will be celebrating 20 years as a Disability Practitioner in higher education. This includes working for the Department of Education in Australia and universities in Sheffield and London. I was delighted to join the ADRC in 2009 to conduct a research project with autistic students. I hold a PGCert in Autism and a PGCert in Human Factors for Inclusive Design and Ergonomics. Since 2015 I have been a Board member of the National Association of Disability Practitioners (NADP) where I am the committee Chair for Continued Professional Development. It is a privilege to work with colleagues and neurodivergent students from across Cambridge University.
