About me

I’m a music loving mother with a passion for human rights and social justice. I’m a campaigner and advocate for children with disabilities and special educational needs. I like to be heard and I love to help others find their voice.
I’m back in college studying Media and Broadcasting, working towards my degree in Creative Media Production and I’ve been blogging about my experiences of juggling life, family and education.
I’m a fiddle player and play as often as I can. I also always like to keep a side hustle going as a volunteer.
