Hi, I'm Georgia
I began my career as a science teacher in a large UK comprehensive school, working within a richly diverse community.
When the school opened a Specialist Resource Base to support autistic students within mainstream education, I felt instinctively drawn to that work. It felt meaningful in a way I couldn’t yet explain.
By my late twenties, I was Deputy Head of Sixth Form, had completed a Master’s degree in Educational Practice and Research, and gained multiple leadership qualifications.
From the outside, my career looked like a success. Behind the scenes, I was burning out.
At 30, I was diagnosed with combined-type ADHD, and everything finally made sense. I began unlearning years of shame and understanding that I wasn’t broken — I am neurodivergent.
I believe neurodivergent people deserve learning spaces where they don’t have to mask, shrink, or force themselves to fit. Spaces where they are seen, understood, and supported as they are.
I am also a proudly queer woman who didn’t come out until later in life, when it finally felt safe.
Unbox exists to offer what so many of us needed growing up: a place where neurodivergent and LGBTQIA+ young people are not just included, but affirmed.
This is why I do what I do.
