Stories shape the way we see the world.
Whether through a picture book, a classroom, a keynote presentation or the Narrative Learning Framework™, I believe stories, and the narratives they create, have the power to shape identity, belonging, curiosity and the choices we make.
As an educator, author and learning architect, my work explores how narrative can inspire learning, strengthen critical thinking, build empathy and help people navigate an increasingly complex world.
I am the creator of the Narrative Learning Framework™, an educational approach that helps learners recognise, question and reshape the narratives influencing how they see themselves, others and society. The framework brings together storytelling, inquiry, critical thinking and reflection to support deeper learning and meaningful change.
At its heart, my work is driven by one simple belief:
The stories we tell shape the narratives we believe. The narratives we believe shape the lives we lead.
Writing Stories That Matter
My love of storytelling extends beyond education into children’s and young adult literature.
I write meaningful, imaginative stories that spark empathy, inspire curiosity and encourage readers to explore both their inner world and the world around them.
My books include:
- Picture books that gently guide young children through emotions, relationships and staying safe online.
- Humorous junior fiction celebrating the joy of reading through laugh-out-loud adventures.
- STE(A)M-inspired middle-grade fiction that nurtures curiosity, creativity and confidence.
- Young adult thrillers and dystopian fiction exploring identity, ethics and the choices that define us.
- Romantic comedy screenplays that celebrate humour, hope and human connection.
Although the genres are diverse, they all share a common purpose: helping readers see the world, and each other, from new perspectives.
Beyond the Page
When I’m not writing or designing learning experiences, you’ll usually find me spending time with my family or following one of my lifelong passions for sport. I enjoy keeping active through soccer, basketball and tennis, and rarely miss the chance to cheer on Collingwood, Liverpool FC, the Buffalo Bills and the New York Knicks.
Over the years I’ve also been a personal trainer, a dance instructor (yes, there’s video evidence!), and, despite what my heart desires, I’ve never quite made it to astronaut.
Curiosity, creativity and a good story have always been the constants.
