I have worked at Ormiston Meadows for 2 years as a Class Teacher. I have taught both Key Stage 1 and 2, and am currently teaching year 2 and leading both maths and PE. I have a passion for sport and developing sport and physical education.
Why I became a Governor: I became a governor to represent the staff at Ormiston Meadows, as well as feed back to them of the outcomes from governor meetings.
I became a parent governor because I have an interest in the educational environment being the best it can be to help children thrive.
I have 20+ years of supporting autistic children, young people, and their families. As a developmental autism consultant, my passion is helping families create opportunities for children to learn and grow every day. I am experienced in consulting 1:1 with parents, working directly with children, delivering group interventions and training to school staff on all things autism via my business Think Autism Ltd.
Over the years, I recognised an increasing need to support the mental health of children and young people, so I took on an additional role with NESSie CIC and am currently completing postgraduate training as a CAMHS Practitioner with a specific focus on children and young people who are autistic and / or have learning disabilities. Thus, my mission is also to ensure healthy wellbeing for children to be able to access a good quality of life.
I am married with two young boys, one of which recently started at Ormiston Meadows and we are very impressed so far.
