Having qualified at St Andrew's College in Bearsden, Scotland as a primary school teacher, I took the exciting decision to move to Devon in 1997. Since then I have brought up my two wonderful daughters and continued my teaching and leadership career at Compton C of E primary school in Plymouth. I am passionate about providing the best opportunities for our children. Being Headteacher St Paul's is an honour and exciting opportunity. St Paul's is a very special place and I am delighted to become part of this vibrant and warm community.

I am the Executive Deputy Headteacher at Cathedral School of St. Mary and St Joesph's. I am delighted to be a governor at St Paul's. I am passionate about ensuring that our pupils are given a range of opportunities and experiences while they attend our school.

I am really happy to be a part of the Governing body at St Paul’s School and I am looking forward to continuing to contribute to and build upon the great work that has already taken place. I want to support the whole school community to the best of my ability and would be really happy for you to approach me to help you in any way I can. Please don’t hesitate to ask me questions and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll try my best to find it out for you. I have a daughter in school, following in her daddy’s footsteps (although quite a few years later) and also her granny Rosemary’s footsteps. I am a school tutor in another local school and have the interests of the local community at heart.

I have lived in and around St Budeaux for most of my life. I always had fond memories of St Paul’s even as a child. My primary school would come to St Paul’s to use their school field for sports day and events and my childhood home backed onto the field also. Being such a small, friendly and welcoming school St Paul’s was first choice when it was time for my own children to start their school journey. So when the opportunity to become a member of the governing body was mentioned to me I absolutely knew I wanted to be part of the board and part of St Paul’s future. I have enjoyed my role so far and look forward to continuing to help our school and children thrive.
