I have thirty-five years experience working in various accounting roles and have been a governor for over sixteen years. I am delighted to be serving as part of the Board of Trustees for The Wings’ CE Trust and look forward to making valuable contributions to the schools in our Trust. I have two children and strongly believe every child should be nurtured to achieve everything of which they are capable….. and then a little bit more. In my spare time I enjoy visiting  the theatre, reading and puzzles.

I have been a school governor for 18 years and recently joined St Georges. I Have Managed The Green Grass Centre on the Hag Fold Estate since 2011 and know lots of families in the area. My role is to support families and encourage getting people back into education. I have a long term relationship with St Georges and I am passionate about serving on the Board of Governors, where I find the learning curve a challenging but rewarding experience. I hope to use the skills and expertise I have developed over 30-years in the local community, to help the school realise the full potential. I aiming to make sure children are safe at home, in school and in the community.
