Summary

I am a dedicated and enthusiastic primary class teacher with over ten years’ experience, during which I have developed a deep-rooted passion for education and lifelong learning. Alongside my classroom practice, I have served as a successful Physical Education Lead, championing an inclusive culture that promotes a genuine love of exercise and physical activity for all children, regardless of background or ability. I am firmly committed to the belief that everyone not only has the right to be physically active, but also deserves to understand its profound importance for physical health, mental wellbeing and long-term life outcomes. My professional journey, strengthened by experience across multiple sectors grounded in communication, collaboration and authenticity, has equipped me with the adaptability and strategic mindset required to make meaningful impact. I am therefore motivated to bring a committed, ambitious and values-driven approach to supporting the work of Active Gloucestershire in addressing one of the most pressing and worthwhile challenges facing our society today.
