Life before Rose Hill Westonbirt?
I was a solicitor in the city of London for 15 years working in private practice as a partner; then in-house for an international bank; then in-house solicitor at The British Red Cross Society. I retrained as a primary school teacher in 2008.
Why Rose Hill Westonbirt?
I had lived in London all my life. While I enjoyed all the trappings of city life, I wanted to live in an area where my young family could flourish and develop in an area where community mattered. Rose Hill Westonbirt offered me a perfect opportunity to develop my teaching career in a warm and inviting school with dedicated staff and engaging children. In addition, we have moved into an area close to Minchinhampton Common which offers us a vibrant village and lots of open spaces for us to explore.
And in your spare time?
I am a sports nut, watching and playing and I am hoping to join the vets at Minchinhampton Rugby Club. My ambition is to swim the English Channel and I am a big fan of open air swimming. I love the theatre and deep down I am a frustrated thesp.
