⸺ MY STORY
A curiosity about people became a deeper study of what shapes them.
For more than two decades, Jacqueline worked across business, media and leadership, observing how people think, respond, connect and change.
Lived experience brought those questions closer to home and eventually into postgraduate study.
Today, her work explores the relationship between biology, experience, belief and environment, translating complex ideas into insights that can be applied to the way we live, learn, raise children and understand one another.
She holds postgraduate qualifications in Business, Autism Studies and Neuroscience, the last currently in progress.

⸺ FEATURED BOOK
The Playground
A gentle, honest story about inclusion, sensory overload and language differences. It follows the everyday challenges autistic children face in places that seem simple for everyone else, because the most ordinary spaces are often the hardest to navigate. At the back of the book, each character is explained through real neuroscience and behaviour, interoception, flow state, masking, hyperactivity and dysregulation, giving children and the adults around them a shared language for what's happening beneath the surface. Inspired by lived family experience.
