I was born and bred in South Australia. I had planned to get into history or archives and have a number of degrees in this area however God had other ideas for my life and here I am homeschooling my two primary school aged kids instead. He also sent me back to uni to study autism. I’m married to a high-school teacher who’d really rather be gardening, and we are actively involved in a church of the brethren persuasion (I say ‘persuasion’ because we’re a bit confused as to what we are, but the premise is bretho). My kids, my dog and I are neurodiverse but thankfully my husband isn’t as someone needs to be flexible!

I like: herbal teas and 95% chocolate, Wes Anderson movies, bike riding, spending time with my husband, researching and advocating for autism, reading, hiking, the idea of the beach, my ear plugs at night.

I dislike: coffee, cleaning, peas, injustice, cold feet, changing my routine, getting my head wet, sand, the reality of the beach, and a plethora of other sensory experiences. Oh, and cats.
