I’m so pleased to be starting a new path of my career at Braunton Academy after many years working in retail, running my own keepsake business as a seamstress and more recently working in health and wellbeing settings in Braunton.
I have two daughters and as they are rapidly growing, it felt like the right time to pursue my passion for working with young people in KS3 and 4.
They are an age group I have a great affinity for and I’m empathetic to the many challenges that they can face in the present day. I have lots to learn in this area too and am excited to be able to do this in practice and from the people with a wealth of knowledge all around the school.
I aim to be a source of support and safety and perhaps a little bit of relatability if I can!
Outside of the working world, I have a diverse range of interests, but my main drive and passion is for mountain biking. I picked the bike up about three years ago and I try to get to Wales and as many bike parks as I can and recently picked up a bike sponsor which is like a little dream come true!
I’m keen to support the teaching staff, I am always happy to do what is needed of me in the classroom and I’ll do my best to help in any way that I can. It feels like an exciting and key time to be joining the school and the TA/SEND team and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.
