Hi! I am from Poole and am a graduate of the University of St Mark & St John in Plymouth, with a BA (Hons) in Education and a PGCE. I am a trained primary teacher, holding QTS, but I chose not to go into mainstream teaching as I prefer to use my skills to support young people in other ways, as a leader with the 28th Bournemouth Scout Group. I also play the viola and am a member of the Westbourne Orchestral Society.
