I have worked with children and families for the past 23 years and I am passionate about children’s voices being heard. I care deeply that parents are offered the support to be the very best that they can be for their children.
I have an honours degree in early years care and education, and have worked within the education sector and social care settings where I have gained an enormous amount of experience in the problems that children and their carers face. I am keen to find solution-focused interventions that support change for children.
Having worked at Minerva for the past eight years, I have enjoyed getting to know, and working with many children and their families. I have been fortunate to get to know the community, and recognise what is important to the children who attend the school.
I am privileged to be part of the core group, as the school moves forward on its journey, to provide an outstanding education to all.
In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, walking and spending time with my family. I have two lovely border terriers that also keep me busy.
I have been teaching for over 17 years and predominantly worked in and around London and Surrey for the majority of my career. I moved to Somerset in 2017 and have enjoyed working with The Redstart Learning Partnership since I arrived; working at Holy Trinity for four years and then taking on the Assistant Head role at Minerva in January 2022. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the incredible team here. I am passionate about educating children. I believe in providing them with rich experiences, teaching life skills and developing their own creativity. I want all children to feel valued and find their place in the world.
I am a mother of two girls, both primary age, who keep me busy outside of school! I enjoy playing social netball and spending time with my family.
I am delighted to be a part of the core group - to continue to help Minerva deliver an outstanding curriculum and ensure all our children have every opportunity to thrive.
