My love for teaching children began when I started volunteering at my former primary school after I had left. Being back in that familiar environment, helping younger students and seeing their excitement to learn, sparked something in me. Since then, I’ve been passionate about creating a classroom atmosphere that’s full of laughter and fun, while maintaining a firm but fair approach. I believe in balancing structure with joy, making learning both engaging and meaningful for every child.

I have always been interested in teaching from a young age. I am passionate that through education we have the power to change lives and make a difference. I always wanted a job where everyday was different, and my interest in learning new things means I LOVE every day. I couldn't see myself doing anything else and am incredibly lucky to be part of the St John's team

I am inspired by my Dad every day as he continues to embrace life and enjoy everything it has to offer. Growing up, I watched him work hard to achieve what he wanted for his family whilst never compromising the time he spent with us all. When I began my route to teaching, with my own family, my goal was to show him I could do the same.  He taught me to be accepting of everyone and through him I have learnt to have empathy and immense appreciation for our diverse culture and all it has to offer.
