Meet Dave
As a neurodiverse public speaker and presenter, I specialise in harnessing the insights of educational neuroscience to explore the diverse opportunities and pathways available for professionals.
In my ongoing pursuit of knowledge and expertise, I have added a Master of Educational Neuroscience to my qualifications, further deepening my understanding of the neurodiverse mind. This complemented my skills in Business in Trades and Training, a Bachelor’s Degree in Adult Education, Vocational and Workplace Training, and a Master of Education degree in Career Development, which equips me to engage in meaningful and inclusive discussions that cater to diverse audiences.
