About me

I am a qualified and experienced secondary teacher of languages and Careers Adviser so I hope I bring these skills to the Department to support the students I work with. I enjoy exercise which really helps with my own wellbeing; cycling to work, swimming, yoga and the occasional run! I also love to immerse myself in a book and I am an avid reader of fiction, my favourite authors are Margaret Atwood, Ian Mc Ewan, Kazuo Ishiguro and Thomas Hardy.
