I have been a teacher for more than 20 years and have taught in primary schools in Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, as well as International Schools in China and Chile. Even though I’ve been settled back in the UK for many years now, my ‘international’ experience has influenced my teaching and I encourage children to look at the world beyond their own community, to see how the lives of others are different to their own. I am passionate about ensuring children are equipped for their future whilst caring about the planet and having empathy for others. I have run many extra-curricular clubs including Eco Warriors, Fairtrade, Globetrotters and languages, to help children realise they can make a difference. As well as History and Geography, my favourite subjects to teach are Maths and Science – all of which can inspire awe and wonder!

I have always loved travelling and have visited every continent - including Antarctica! Now I’m mum to an amazing daughter who’s about to start secondary school, my travels tend to be closer to home. I love walking in the beautiful countryside we have here in Buckinghamshire and exploring other parts of the UK. I enjoy singing, having been a member of staff choirs at previous schools and even performed in a staff production of Mamma Mia.

I am really excited about teaching at Widmer End and looking forward to being part of the school community.
