We're here to start a conversation
Sophia is the driving force behind Our Gifted Kids, bringing both personal experience and professional expertise to the conversation around gifted education and parenting. As a parent of three gifted children, she understands the complexities, challenges, and triumphs that come with raising and supporting gifted kids. Through Our Gifted Kids, she not only provides answers but also asks the critical questions that parents, educators, and policymakers need to consider.
With a strong background in education policy, advocacy, and the arts, Sophia has held roles as a Senior Adviser to the Queensland Education Minister, Manager of a regional arts charity in one of Europe’s most disadvantaged communities, and has worked with a major Australian festival. She also serves as a committee member for GTCASA (Gifted and Talented Children’s Association of South Australia).
A sought-after speaker, Sophia has presented across Australia to parents, educators, and policymakers on a wide range of topics related to gifted children. From intimate workshops to major conferences, she brings deep insight, practical expertise, and an engaging presence that resonates with diverse audiences.
Whether delivering keynote speeches, leading panel discussions, or conducting professional development workshops, Sophia is committed to raising awareness, sparking meaningful conversations, and advocating for the needs of gifted children.

The way we work
Some of the fine print.
Our Gifted Kids is independent and we recommend things that work with our kids and our community’s kids.
We do have to pay the bills though so you may find advertising or paid editorials – these will always be clearly marked and our we only promote companies or individuals who share our values. If we wouldn’t use it, we won’t promote it.
The whole point of Our Gifted Kids is to bring together parents and the people or stuff that’s going to make life easier for you to parent your gifted kids. So we’re ok with advertising good products or services if that
1) makes it easier for you to find them and
2) helps us achieve our aim.
Links to other websites may sometimes be affiliate links designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to other websites (so we can pay the bills!).
This means that if you purchase something from that site after clicking over from Our Gifted Kids we receive a very-small percentage of the sale. Clicking through these links does not cost you any more than you’d already be spending.
Our Gifted Kids uses various social media platforms and are not responsible for what you post on our social media channels.
