Sinéad Burke is an educator, writer and advocate. Born in Dublin, Sinéad is
interested in making the world a more equitable place. Her career began in
the classroom, teaching children from ages to four to twelve. Sinéad received
the Vere Foster Medal for Teaching by Trinity College, Dublin but this desire
to create equality and access couldn’t be contained to the classroom. With a
Masters in Broadcast Production, Sinéad understood the power of storytelling
and as a disabled woman, became aware of the lack of representation in
television, museums, dolls, books… and fashion.
Sinéad is a Contributing Editor of British Vogue, and in September 2019, she
was the first little person to ever feature on the cover of Vogue magazine.
Selected by HRH the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, Sinéad is
considered a ‘Force for Change’ and one of the most influential women
working in the UK and Ireland.
Sinéad is responsible for the introduction of the word ‘duine beag’, meaning
little person, into the Irish language. She has collaborated with Lottie Dolls to
create the first little person doll, and with the National Museums of Scotland to
create the first little person mannequin.
Being the first to achieve something is special, but Sinéad is most interested
in helping others to achieve their goals and ambitions. She uses her lived
experience and unique perspective on the world to cultivate empathy and to
teach others on how to take their place in the world.
