Excerpt from NPQSL Feedback
I previously worked as a conservation biologist and ecological consultant before making the move into education.
I have now been in education for 10 years working as a Class Teacher, Head of Science, English Lead, Specialist Leader in Education (SLE) in both London-based state maintained schools and International.
My experience incorporates the English National Curriculum, International Primary Curriculum (IPC) applied both in London and International settings in China. I have a NPQSL with experience in curriculum leadership and development alongside research institutions.
Throughout my career, I have led and developed numerous outreach and enrichment projects. These projects have focused particularly in the arts and theatre but also within the fields of social and commercial entrepreneurship.
I have competed internationally in sailing, am a keen diver (PADI Divemaster) and enjoy long-distance running and playing cello.
