Thrilled to share I’m now an endorsed organisational psychologist! Combining 20 years in schools and school systems with the discipline of organisational psychology lets me unpack what's happening with a school leader for themselves or their school, and plan a way forward to support wellbeing.

First ocean swim for 2025 this morning, goodness I felt it but great to be a part of it! What can you do for to care for yourself today? It might be easy, it might be hard, but it is good to be intentional about how we spend [some of] our moments. #wellbeing #selfcare #compassionateschools
