I had a wonderful author visit at PaCe Modern School, Dubai. It was fantastic meeting over 500 elementary students in collaboration with Alpha Bookstore as part of their book fair! A brilliant day filled with movement, singing, dancing, big smiles, and happy group photos at the end (which I was delighted to indulge in!). P.S. The bouquet was such a lovely thought.

My visit to Al Gurm Charter School was a celebration of environmental leadership in motion. I met the passionate members of the Eco Club — students who are curious, outspoken, and motivated to protect the planet. We explored real sustainability challenges and then put knowledge into action through a team-based competition. Students were tasked with: 1. researching an environmental issue 2. designing a poster or campaign concept 3. pitching their ideas in a short presentation Every team delivered creativity, clarity, and critical thinking. After a lively round of presentations, the boys’ team won, impressing everyone with a compelling poster and confident delivery. More than competition, what stood out was commitment — these students are learning to advocate, lead, and challenge the status quo. The future looks bright.

My sustainability workshop at Al Riyadh Charter School in Abu Dhabi was all about hands-on environmental learning and student leadership. Together, we broke down what sustainability means in daily life — from waste reduction and water use to biodiversity and conservation. Students moved from awareness to action by designing mini eco-solutions and thinking like problem-solvers. The engagement was high, the questions were bold, and the commitment was clear — these young learners aren’t waiting to be grown-ups before making a difference. They are ready now. A powerful afternoon of thinking green, speaking up, and imagining a better planet.

World Book Day at Brighton College Dubai was an energising celebration of storytelling at its finest. I hosted an immersive author session filled with imagination, character voices, laughter, and curious minds. The children arrived in full costume, embodying their favourite book characters with confidence and charm — honestly some of the cutest outfits I’ve ever seen! What I loved most was how deeply the school’s motto, Curiosity, showed up in the room. Students asked thoughtful questions, leaned into the narrative, and weren’t afraid to wonder aloud. The staff were just as supportive, ensuring every child felt free to imagine, discuss, and play It was a joyful day that reminded us how reading unlocks confidence and creativity — and Brighton’s young readers certainly proved it.

I had the pleasure of visiting Bloomington Academy on Thursday, 13th November 2025 for an author visit — and I was completely blown away. The school has a powerful culture of promoting literacy, reading, and writing — so much so that they have over 20 young authors who have already published their own books. That level of ambition, creativity, and follow-through is extraordinary. 📚✨ As someone who believes deeply in moving learning from the abstract and theoretical into practical, real-world application, Bloomington Academy modelled exactly that. As an author, it brought me great joy to interact with their learners. Their curiosity, thoughtful questions, and creativity made the experience truly rewarding. A big thank you to Bloomington Academy and Alpha Bookstore for the warm hospitality. After the session and pictures , I recieved a lovely thank you plaque which I know have displayed on my bookshelf. If your school would like to book an author visit, a creative writing workshop, or a sustainability session, feel free to reach out — I’d be happy to bring an engaging learning experience to your students.

I had an incredible time at GEMS Winchester School delivering a Climate Change & Sustainability Workshop! 🌍✨ The students were curious, engaged, and worked brilliantly in groups. We explored the causes and effects of climate change, unpacked carbon footprints, and discussed the cumulative impact of everyday habits like single-use plastics. Their enthusiasm was inspiring — and they created some of the best posters I’ve seen in a long time! 🎨💡 Thank you, GEMS Winchester, for such a warm and energetic session. If your school would love a sustainability workshop or a creative environmental learning session, feel free to contact me! 🌱💚
