I am a psychologist, researcher, and creator of Social Stencil. My work challenges traditional models of psychology that have historically defined social, emotional, sensory, and learning differences through a deficit lens. Through research, teaching, and program development, I work alongside neurodivergent communities to create educational resources that reflect a broader range of human experiences and ways of thinking. My research explores how young people can learn about different neurocognitive styles, appreciate difference, and contribute their own voices to the design of more inclusive learning environments.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
