I specialised in working with children and young people on the Autism Spectrum and completed my MA at MMU alongside this job role. I moved to Edge Hill University in 2015. I work as a Senior Lecturer in the Early Years Education department and am also Inclusion Lead. I am currently undertaking a Research PhD at MMU focussing on child voice in relation to children on the autism spectrum.
