I was teaching in an Infant School for twenty years before shaking it up and moving to an aquatic classroom! I am passionate about enabling children to achieve their goals no matter how big or small the steps to reach them.

I gained my Sign Language qualification many years ago, and I still use signs and gestures when it supports learning - sometimes a noisy pool environment is an ideal place to use it, particularly with the babies!

If I'm not at school or in the pool, you'll find me on the side of a football pitch or cricket ground somewhere in the South of England, supporting my boys with their passions.
