Summary
I have worked in Early years Education for the last 20 years.
My main interests are in language and communication development, having worked with NLT on projects supporting families and settings. I am also interested in how we facilitate learning for our next generation of teachers and practitioners so that they are ready and resilient to work with our complex families and children.
