Personal profile
Biography
I am a Lecturer in Inclusive Education at the University of Edinburgh. I moved into initial teacher education in 2014 following fifteen years of teaching in the post-compulsory sector in a range of specialist and general education settings. I have a Doctorate in Education from the University of Glasgow, and an MA in Autism from Northumbria University.
