I studied Classics and Law at the University of London. I joined West Heath School 16 years ago, having enjoyed a successful career in Private Banking and Corporate Law. Education has been where I have found my true vocation and passion. My roles at West Heath have included, Strategic Head of KS2 and KS3, Vice Principal Corporate Operations and Acting Deputy Principal, which has afforded me an extensive and detailed perspective of our SEND provision.

My special interest has been pupils who have experienced relational trauma and loss, which inspired me to qualify as an Attachment Lead. As Principal, my vision is to embed this knowledge within our school, to form the bedrock from which we deliver our provision, underpinned by therapeutic practice.

My interests include visiting museums and art galleries, creative writing, sailing in the Aegean, swimming, tennis and walking in the countryside. I enjoy exploring archaeological sites and absorbing the diverse cultures of other countries with my family.
