Bio

I worked in higher education for many years most recently managing a degree in Learning & Teaching for those supporting learning in schools and other educational settings at the University of Leeds. I still work there very part-time but this gives me more time to get involved in schools hence my reason for joining the governing body 5 years ago. For the past year I have also been volunteering as a teaching assistant supporting refugees learning English. Originally I qualified as a librarian so have always been interested in books and reading and developing young people’s literacy skills. I always have my head in a book and can’t go on holiday without a bag full of books – no Kindles for me!
