For several years I have worked with children in Early Years. I enjoy their inquisitiveness, enthusiasm and energy. The Bridgewater ethos of child-initiated learning and the constant use of the amazing outside space reflects my own approach to teaching and learning.

In my personal life, I am an avid reader and runner, and enjoy sharing these passions in lessons. Being the mother of two boys enables me to empathise with parents and gives me a good understanding of the challenges children face, as well as how children flourish.
