I was born in Indiana, then moved to London at 14. From there I started my first consulting business in my early 20s, then moved into education, where I stayed for more than ten years, branching out into curriculum development, and then co-founding FireTech Australia.

I moved back into digital and web strategy consulting through the pandemic, then moved to Valencia.

I’m now based in Spain, working remotely with a mix of clients around Europe on their digital transformation and strategy objectives.

Educator

After teaching in the international school system, I went on to develop one of the pioneering Minecraft courses for Fire Tech Camp, and then led countless after school clubs, summer coding camps at Imperial College and other venues around the UK.

In 2016, I co-founded FireTech Camp Australia, bringing my passion for helping people get the most out of tech to younger generations in Perth.

Writer

Developing one of the first ever Minecraft coding courses for FireTech led to being approached to write "How to Code in Minecraft” for Dennis Publishing in 2016.

My curriculum and teaching work then led to being approached to write “How to Think Like a Coder: Without Even Trying!” for Batsford Books in 2017. ‘Think Like a Coder’ has since been translated into many languages and was shortlisted for the ACLS Educational Writer’s Award in 2018.

Current Focus

Based in Valencia, Spain, I now work remotely with European businesses, helping them understand and implement digital solutions effectively. My approach combines the patience of an educator with the practical experience of a digital professional, ensuring that technology serves people, not the other way around.

I believe in:

  • Making complex technology accessible

  • Building confidence through understanding

  • Creating sustainable digital solutions

  • Teaching while implementing

This unique combination of educational expertise and practical implementation helps businesses not just adopt technology, but truly understand and leverage it for lasting success.
