As an experienced educator, my passion is developing people of all ages, through positive, supportive, and developmental approaches. I am proud to work in an organisation that seeks to be deliberately developmental and champions a progressive approach to delivering a student centred, 21st century educational experience.

As a moderniser in education, I am driven to bring new perspectives and ideas to our organisation that takes it forward into the future as a sector defining institution.
As Principal at KE6, I lead the strategic direction of the college and hold responsibility for the overall performance of the college. I also fulfil an external facing role, working with public and private sector organisations to develop and grow our mutual collaboration. I am a relentless champion for the amazing work all the people in our college community do. I believe passionately in our mission, vision and values and work every day to promote a positive and supportive college environment that helps everyone all to gain the skills they need to thrive and have remarkable impact in the world.
As a member of the Better Future Multi-Academy Trust I sit on the Executive Team, overseeing the work of the strategic work of the Trust. I also work with the student domain of the MAT, focusing on how we support, grow and develop our students, their agency and voice, as well as their leadership across all our colleges. It’s a privilege to get to come to work each day and engage with such talented and hardworking people, and ensuring our students have a central and active role in our community.
