I am passionate about engaging young minds outside of the classroom, because I am convinced that open space is the birthplace of enquiry, and because traditional approaches to educational practice defy all logic to me.

I have tested and tamed the waters of copywriting and copy-editing. It bodes well for me and others that I am a mimic, a mirror, a sponge. I can transcend space, time and culture. I can emulate anyone.

I am the author of an embarrassing number of blogs, a mother to two creative, compassionate young souls, the slowest person ever to gain a bachelor's degree, a lover of poetry and prose.

I am a basket weaver, a textile spinner, a maker of home made clothes.
