After graduating with a degree in Human Biology Miriam started working with Special Needs pupils (drawing on her university studies in Disability and Ageing) where she worked with pupils with learning and physical disabilities. She then moved on to work at a Children's Hospice for disabled and life-limited children. Her experience then led her to gain a position working setting up after-school clubs and carrying out accessibility audits for community halls . She later moved to work for the National Trust as an Education Officer working with school visits, looking at Sir Isaac Newton's work and his influence on Science today. Whilst working for the National Trust Miriam won the Sanford Award for Heritage Education. During her time there she also set up a farm visits program with a local modern farm and the National Trust Property at which she worked. This allowed pupils to compare and contrast 17th Century Farming with modern day farming. This lead her to recognise the shortage of quality education advice available to organisations across the country, many of whom are now looking to receive school visits and/or promote the educational merit of their products/services. Bentley IEA was born...
Miriam is also CEVAS (Countryside Educational Visits Accreditation Scheme) accredited.
