My Summary
About Me
I'm a Multi-Disciplined Creative Consultant and an educator of young children with a passion for storytelling and engagement using a variety of medias and play. I help others create, achieve and nurture young minds with creativity and alternative education methods - creating successful, immersive 'jungle yoga' workshops, engaging art therapy workshops and 'recycling monsters' sessions to this present day. Over the past few years working with children with Autism & specialist behavioural needs we were awarded Inaugural Stars of West Norfolk and in 2016 awarded 'Team of the Year' with honours.
I'm committed to visually telling stories with sensitivity and depth, creating engaging visions for children and dedicated to changing the world one hop, skip and a jump at a time.
I have a recently completed Paediatric First Aid 12 hours OFSTED compliant, completed Food Hygiene and Child Protection training in the past. I have many years experience of working in schools, theatres, nurseries and various children's charities from London to India to the Himalayas. I absolutely love working with children of all ages and I believe I offer a service that reflects this, full of fun, active and educational activities.
Each day children get to experience creative play and learning to teach life skills, academics or about the world. I can email you a log each day to show what the child/ children have been doing and email photos each week.
Highlights of my career to date range from working in a busy classrooms of children and home tutoring to working as the lead Cinematographer on a Tibetan Drama Documentary in the foothills of the Himalayas and working alongside an inspirational team of London-based News Writers and Photographers at Amnesty International, creating and curating images for publications on human rights released worldwide. I thoroughly enjoy bringing my personal experiences into my lessons and workshops with a very visual and fun approach to learning.
I love making new professional acquaintances, please do reach out if you want to talk design, education or storytelling. I'm always interested in learning about new opportunities and ideas for discussion. Contact me on here to get better connected.
My Experience
A SEN professional using an energetic approach to education using creative, drama-based activities to motivate a child’s imagination, character and spirit to encourage improved concentration, enriched vocabulary and increased self-confidence.
I have worked with children aged 5-11 with special educational needs such as autism, ADHD, ADD and dyslexia. My role focused on supporting individuals' needs, assisting with creative group classwork and concentrating on the development of social, emotional and behavioural aspects of their education. I particularly enjoyed helping the students to develop their emotional literacy through creative and drama-based activities, assisting teachers to deliver stimulating lessons that provide an enjoyable, engaging learning experience for every student.
My contributions include creating and delivering hugely popular immersive 'jungle yoga' workshops, art therapy workshops and my 'recycling monsters' sessions. One of my personal highlights was our team being awarded Inaugural Stars of West Norfolk and 'Team of the Year 2016' with honours. It was a rewarding year seeing the improvements we made as a team and of the progress we saw in the children as a result.
