MA, B.Ed (Hons), PCAP, FHEA

I came to York St John University in 2002 after teaching for 15 years in primary schools in London working with all age ranges from Year 1 to Year 5. I built up a wealth of experience working with children from diverse backgrounds and with a wide variety of Special Needs especially those with hearing impairment. During my time in school, I was curriculum coordinator for English, maths, PE, creative arts and Senior Teacher in charge of induction, staff development and ITE.

I trained to become a teacher by completing a 4 Year B.Ed. Hons degree at Nene College, Northampton specialising in Dance and Physical Education. Since being at York St John University I have gained my Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice and completed my Masters in Educational Improvement, Development and Change.
