I have two children at Floreat Montague Park, and I am passionate about ensuring all children can flourish and be the best that they can be, they are not in a race with other children, just themselves. Since our children joined the school, I have seen it be a place of nurturing and enrichment, and I believe that I use my skills and experience to help.

Previously I have been a co-opted school governor at a school in Buckinghamshire, most recently as vice-chair. Throughout that time, I’ve learnt a huge amount about the education system, the challenges of running a primary school, and how good leadership and strategy are pivotal in creating great outcomes for our children. Now at Floreat Montague Park I would love the opportunity to bring this learning, where we have turned around a ‘Requires Improvement’ school, to Floreat.

Professionally, in the ‘day job’ I work for a large organisation leading part of the Ethics and Compliance function, where I see the importance of being driven by values and providing the right environment. I am also part of the diversity and inclusion team at work, where I am part of the lead team for gender parity, all of this combined with my previous back ground in both communications and procurement give me a unique set of experience to be part of the strategy board for the school.
