Hello, my name is Rebecca!
I graduated from City St George’s, University of London in 2013 and began my career as a Speech and Language Therapist in a specialist autism and complex needs school. Inspired by my early experiences working in schools, I continued to develop my career across similar settings before joining a not-for-profit organisation, where I led a team supporting students across numerous mainstream primary schools as well as a SEND setting in London.
I have been fortunate to support many students, Newly Qualified Practitioners (NQPs) and colleagues throughout their learning journeys. I have a particular professional passion for the impact that reflective, solution-focused supervision can have on wellbeing, confidence and successful practice. I am also an Ayres Sensory Integration Practitioner, with special clinical interests in sensory integration, complex trauma and neurodiversity.
The Words First values that resonate most strongly with me are using an interdisciplinary approach and keeping students’ best interests at the heart of every decision we make. I believe that bringing together different perspectives, while keeping the child at the centre, enables us to create truly inclusive environments where every student can build confidence, feel supported and flourish.
Outside of work, I’m mum to two incredible girls. I love visiting art galleries, going for dog walks, reading, watching films, listening to live music and travelling. Most of all, I enjoy spending lots of time with my friends and family.
If you asked my friends to describe me, I think they would say I’m caring, creative and fun.
