I first became a Foundation Governor at Earley St. Peter’s in 2017 and have held a variety of responsibilities since then. My current roles are: Chair of CDC (Child Development Committee); Admissions Governor; link for EYFS Curriculum; link for Eco-council.

My background is in Financial Services where I worked for 17 years in IT and Project Management.  When I first joined the Board of Governors, I was a full-time mum and the role was a fantastic opportunity to use my skills and experience and to develop new ones while taking a break from the workplace.  I now work part-time for a UK wide parenting charity as a Data Analyst. 

I am also a parent at Earley St Peters and I have 3 girls at the school in Years 3, 4 & 6. I really enjoy being a Governor for our wonderful school and see it as great way to use my skills and experience to contribute to our school community.

I have always regarded the role of a Governor as a significant way to invest in the local community so I was keen to get involved as a Foundation Governor at Earley St. Peters.  The positive ethos of the school really resonated with me and I now have two daughters at the school.  Through governing I am able to use the skills I have obtained in industry to support the school and the valuable educational experience that it offers.

With two children currently attending ESP, I wanted to support the school, as well as be more involved with the school community. I believe that all children should be given the opportunity to thrive in education and to achieve their full potential and would like to use my skills to advocate for pupils with additional needs, whether they are academic, social, or emotional.

With a background in Social Care, I bring my knowledge of safeguarding, and the social care systems and processes to the governing body. I also have experience of supporting families with vulnerable children and the additional challenges this brings for parents.

When my two daughters joined Earley St Peters I was keen to get involved within the school community and was lucky enough to be elected as a Parent Governor. I see the role of a Governor as key to the school’s strategic direction, helping shape its vision and values in providing education and unlocking the potential in our children.

I bring experience from an engineering career spanning 17 years across a range of industries, from aerospace, the military, railway and consulting.
