About Me

As Deputy Principal I have the pleasure of being an integral part of the leadership team, helping to create the most engaging and nurturing environment for our learners. I am passionate about educating and connecting with our young people, and believe they keep me young too! I am a fond traveller, new beekeeper, and an animal enthusiast.
