Job Titles:

Member of the Senior Team
Head of College & Associate Assistant Principal

I joined Mirfield College in January 2018 and I have been teaching now for 13 years. I am a teacher of Law and Criminology as well as Head of College. I graduated from the University of Sheffield with a BA in Criminology and Social Policy. I worked for the Crown Prosecution Service before completing my PGCE at York St John University. I have a lot of experience in safeguarding and wellbeing and one of the most important aspects of my job is ensuring that students are happy. I love teaching and I hope that my passion for Criminology and the justice system inspires another generation to learn more about it - and make it better. In my spare time I love reading, walking and spending time with my young niece and nephews. I like music gigs, going to the cinema and theatre, and trying out new restaurants and venues with my friends.
