What's the best thing about the RGS? The students and their genuine desire to learn. After 12 years, I still can't believe that they thank me at the end of a lesson (and genuinely mean it!)
What excites you most about coming into work each day? I'm very lucky that I often get to observe different lessons and subjects as part of my role. I feel so fortunate to work alongside such talented colleagues- the students don't know how lucky they are! I always leave their classrooms feeling inspired and energised.
If you were allowed one dream perk, what would it be? A personal shopper to sort out everyone's perfect birthday and Christmas presents (and cards) on time. I always intend, and fail, to send presents and cards on time.

If you could change your name to anything, what would it be? I have become rather fond of my name after all these years, although I would still change my surname…for the right person. Or at least double-barrel it.
What luxury would you have on a desert island? Can I include two luxuries? All the music and all the books in the world. Minus the ones with those pastel covers and commercial dance music.
What animal most reflects your personality? I don't know enough about the animal kingdom to answer this although I am rather fond of a cat's lifestyle: all that napping, exploring and independence.
