About Me
I have very much enjoyed teaching for a variety of reasons, from the rewarding work with young adults to the organisational challenges that the work presents, so I am happy to continue working in education as I look for the next step in my career.
Outside of work I am a relatively sporty person, taking part in road bike races as part of a sports club. I am also very interested in history and academic pursuits, including my ongoing iPGCE course which has the option to be furthered to a master’s in education.
