I qualified as a primary school teacher in 1997 and started my teaching career in Hull, where I worked for 4 years. After that I taught in an international school in Kuwait for several years and then spent nearly two years travelling around the world. Prior to joining Bridgewater I was living and working in London and during my career I have taught all year groups from year 1 to 6. I am particularly interested in early reading and phonics and supporting children with English as an Additional Language (EAL).

Outside of school I love spending time with my family, travelling and visiting new places. I enjoy visiting car boot sales and vintage shops, looking for mid-century ceramics and furniture and I also like eating out .
