My children have been attending St John the Divine Primary School for many years, with my eldest starting in 1999 and this has led me to have a strong affiliation with the school, and local community. I have worked in and around education for over twenty years working in partnership with schools, colleges and universities delivering a number of sports, social development, pupil engagement, peer mentoring and educational review projects. I have worked in the private and public sector and have gained a wide number of experiences, which will now be able to benefit St John the Divine in many key areas. I currently work at Roehampton University working closely with students to ensure they achieve their full potential.
