Summary
I have successfully worked in seven schools and finished my full time career as President of NAHT NI in a difficult time for school leaders in Northern Ireland.
I enjoy working with people and even though I have retired from my full time role, I believe I can contribute to an organisation in a meaningful way.
I relishing working alongside and mentoring new leaders and have gained a lot of experience in this area over the years.
I am a trained management coach and have skills to help others fulfil their potential.
I have experience speaking to the media; press, radio and TV.
