Over twenty years, my journey from education to media reflects my enduring commitment to sharing knowledge and effecting genuine change. In my past role as a teacher, I specialised in gifted education and autism awareness, championing adaptable and inclusive learning for all students. My focus was to offer unwavering support to parents and create tailor-made educational strategies for varied learning styles. Within Render Creative, my role is broad and diverse. Beyond editing, I work as a writer and curriculum designer. I handle a wide range of projects, from web articles and social media posts to other tailored content. Every piece is crafted to meet our clients' varied needs precisely. This wide-ranging work highlights my dedicated commitment to delivering high-quality, relevant content. As a co-founder of Neutral Gravity, my team and I offer affordable public relations, web design, and brand strategy services. We pool our experience from top agencies to ensure top-notch solutions for every client. Across all my roles, past and present, my mission remains steadfast: to deliver clear, compelling content, promote neurodiversity, and enhance educational opportunities, underscoring my firm belief in continuous learning and boundless human potential.
