INFO

I would like to explain the periods in my CV where I have not been working ~ this has mainly been to raise our four children, but is also due to me really struggling with endometriosis since I was a teenager. Whilst I have worked & dealt with it for the majority of my working career, there have been times where it has been far too painful. I have had numerous operations to try & cure it including each time before I was able to fall pregnant with my children ~ however, unfortunately it didn't stay away for long. After having to give up work at the school because of it, the doctor put me on a six month waiting list for a hysterectomy. Two & a half years later I received my operation & thankfully been pain free ever since.
