I qualified to teach in 1997 and enjoyed my first teaching role as a Year Two teacher. Over the following years I taught in Nursery, Reception and Year One and joined the leadership team as Early Years Lead and then Deputy Head.

I joined Bridgewater in 2014 after taking a break to spend time with my daughter. Here I have taught in Reception and Year One and supported in Year Three. I embraced Bridgewater's child led and outdoor learning ethos and am proud to be part of the Bridgewater family.

In my free time I can often be found at the allotment, I have a passion for growing produce and flowers. During the darker winter months, I love to curl up with hooks and yarn and spend time crocheting.
