I am a late-identified AuDHDer with a deep passion and interest in plants. I have worked in schools as a Learning Support Officer and previously in private practice supporting the mental health and well-being of children, adolescence and their families.

Something people wouldn’t guess about you:My special interest is plants (indoor and outdoor) and all things gardening. I have run out of space inside and outside my house with all sorts of plants. My favourite indoor plant is a Whale Fin Sansevieria (Dracaena masoniana) and my favourite outdoor plant is a Japanese maple (Acer palmatum).
