From a young age I had decided that I wanted a career in the Early Years, so I began my HNC in childcare and education as soon as I left school. I have been working at a senior level in private nurseries ever since leaving college. 22 years later, I completed my PDA Level 8 and have now completed my PDA Level 9 in Management and Leadership, with 24 years experience in childcare.

I started at Newbyres when we opened in 2016. I love being outdoors and enjoy giving the children in my care lots of different high-quality experiences, whether this is indoors or outdoors. In my spare time I love spending time with my family and friends as well as following my local football team with my husband and son.
