I have been a teacher since 2008 and have spent my teaching career working in Nottingham City schools.  I have had many roles, during that time: leading within English and Media, latterly becoming Director of Faculty for English here at Bulwell Academy.

Throughout my career, I have worked most extensively with examination groups, driving them to academic success whilst balancing the pressures and mechanics of those difficult years. In 2024, my role has moved away from English and I am leading our Year 11s along with Miss O’Sullivan, Director of Achievement, to ensure excellent outcomes and drive aspirations within the school.

I am also the proud mother of Barry, the school therapy dog! I feel incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to contribute to the school’s new therapeutic approach, something which lies at the heart of my education philosophy.
