I started my teaching career at Bridgewater in September 2020, teaching year 2. I can’t wait to begin my second year at such a warm and welcoming school.

As a teacher, I strive to create a stimulating, inclusive and nurturing classroom environment which enables all children to reach their full potential. As well as academic development, I place equal importance upon promoting kindness and helping children succeed as independent, inquisitive and creative learners.

Outside of school I have a passion for dance, and had the opportunity to coach a large team whilst at university. I have an equal love of reading, and hope to bring this to the classroom through promoting reading for pleasure.

I can’t wait to begin and look forward to working with, and learning alongside, the children in an exciting year ahead.
