With a flair for educating and informing others, I have produced some work through the medium of published books for adults and children. Please browse the examples below and get in touch today to see how we can work together.
Books I have written
During the pandemic, I reflected and realised since my university days decades ago, the same problem has existed with a lack of diversity in the tech industry and STEM sector. Being a woman in tech and from an under-represented group, I took up a personal challenge to address this inequality – and created a childrens book series – The Digital Adventures of Ava and Chip
Based upon my 14 years of experience within the classroom. Computer Science Teacher – insight into the computing classroom (2017) was written to attract new entrants into the teaching profession and specifically to gain understanding of what it is like to teach Computing/Computer Science in the secondary classroom. Readers gain practical advice, hints and tips to start a career as a secondary teacher of Computing
Books to which I have contributed
I am delighted to have written the foreword for this book.
Underpinned by pedagogical practices and theories of what works in teaching computing, this book gives existing and new teachers ideas to enable them to plan an inclusive curriculum for the secondary school computing classroom.
Computing is one of the fastest-developing subjects in the curriculum. Each chapter explores a specific aspect of inclusion and potential barriers faced by students and is designed to challenge teachers to think about their own practice and curriculum design. (2023)
In this recently released book, I have contributed an editorial review. Very pleased to play my part in addressing the digital divide. As the book synopsis says – “Getting into tech doesn’t have to mean learning how to code. There are a wide range of roles in data, digital and tech, and this book showcases the breadth of interesting, creative, and collaborative roles available. Careers in Tech, Data and Digital provides an overview of how the tech sector works, so you can see how the different roles fit in.” (2024)
