Accomplishments

In 2021, I was nominated for an international teaching award: Cambridge University Press, Dedicated Teachers Award. This was for my work during the pandemic at my current school, being creative online to get students involved in sport and fitness from their own homes, with challenges and awards.


I founded a basketball club in 2012, Braintree Basketball Club, starting with a small group of young people and has grown, fulfilling a much wider community in Braintree. Teams at all ages and levels.
