I have a professional background in Programme Management at the British Council where I have worked in a range of IT, Finance and Strategic Planning roles. I was also the Chair of Governors at an Islington Primary School for several years before I moved to Cornwall in 2021. I have an MA in Art History and a PhD in English Literature and am passionate about the creative and performance arts in education. I am currently the Safeguarding Link governor at LSCC.

I have lived in Liskeard for almost 6 years, and currently work as a Head of Customer Service and Assurance.  I have previously been a School Governor/Chair of Governors at a primary school in Plymouth and have just completed a 9-year term as a Board Member at a South Devon Housing Association.  I’m looking forward to being part of Liskeard School, and hope I can make a contribution to its achievements.

I retired in April 2022, having worked in Primary Schools since 1984, first as a teacher and then, from 2010, as a headteacher. My career in education has given me a broad overview of the challenges and also the rewards in trying to provide the best opportunities for children and young people. I have extensive experience across all areas of governance. I am keen to use the knowledge and skills I have acquired to continue supporting education and to contribute to the community.

I have been a registered Dental Nurse for 28 years. I currently work as an Outreach Dental
Nurse for a corporation with a mission of tackling oral health inequality for healthier, happier communities.

I moved to Cornwall in 2005 and currently both my children attend Liskeard College.
I am grateful for the opportunity to be a parent governor. I have had no experience of being a governor before, but I am committed to the role and willing to learn. I am excited to be part of Liskeard School & Community College working to support all pupils in reaching their full potential.
I am keen to use all the knowledge and skills I have achieved from my many years of working in Health Care in a public-facing role and will be an approachable member of our school community.
