I am an experienced educator with thirty years of teaching experience across a variety of schools in Derbyshire, Hertfordshire and East Sussex. During my career, I have experienced a wide variety of class teacher and senior leadership roles, including Senior Teacher and Deputy Headteacher. I have also served as a school governor during my career and I strongly value the importance of governance in supporting and challenging schools to provide the best possible education for their pupils.

I am a parent of two school-aged children, which gives me an additional perspective on the educational experience of young people. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy reading, travelling, visiting art galleries and spending time with family and friends. Living close to the South Downs, I make the most of the beautiful surroundings and enjoy walking whenever the weather allows.

I was raised and have lived in our local area my whole life and attended a local CofE primary school. I am now a Registered Nurse within a local NHS Trust and for the last 15 years I have worked within operational and strategic management and leadership roles.

I am an active member of a local parish PCC and regularly support our children’s worship and holiday clubs.

I am a mum to 3 girls with 2 being in secondary school. I have been an active governor for the past 3 years and have undertaken roles supporting some of the core curriculum subjects as well as the Health and Wellbeing Link Governor for all within our school communities.

I am thrilled to continue my role within the Framfield board and support our local school as part of the Pioneer Federation.

I moved to East Sussex 19 years ago when I married my husband. Formerly a midwife, I gave up my career to be a stay-at-home mother to our six children. Four of my children have completed their Primary School education at Blackboys School, and two still attend there. A lifelong Christian, I became a Foundation Governor for the St Thomas a Becket Federation in 2022. I thoroughly enjoy this role, and wanted to continue to support Framfield School in this way following the dissolution of the Federation, as we embrace the exciting new opportunities for the future.

I was born in Sussex where I went to a CoE Primary and Secondary school, before attending university in Reading. I currently live in Uckfield with my husband, and two boys. My youngest attends Framfield CoE Primary School. Prior to having children I was a Senior Geotechnical Engineer working on many large and small highways infrastructure projects. I have volunteered as a governor for both Framfield CoE and Blackboys CoE school since Nov 2020.
