Graduated from University of Sheffield with a 2:1 in Business Management before returning to Cheshire and beginning work for M&S Bank on the Chester Business Park. Worked within the HSBC group including a Retail Learning role where I travelled the country opening M&S Bank branches including the flagship at Marble Arch and Cheshire Oaks. I met my husband whilst working there and we now live in Norley with our 3 year old daughter.

I am now working for First Central an Insurance and Technology company where I am head of Learning and Development across their sites. The offices are in Haywards Heath on the south coast and Manchester, and I also look after the Outsourcers who are based in Glasgow and South Africa. I lead a team of 7 creative colleagues whose roles range from creating digital learning content and Senior trainers who have travelled to SA to support staff.
Achievements You Are Proud Of?
I am really proud to be able to live in a lovely village like Norley and give our daughter the best childhood here. I am a proud full time working parent, who also manages to ride horses competitively, training and qualifying to for the Regional Championships at Dressage.
A Memory From Your Time At KSJ
I was only at KSJ for 1 year as I had moved in from down South, but I met my best friend there, we have been best friends ever since for the last 30 years, now our daughters are growing up together. I remember we were absolutely amazing at netball that year and won every competition, we were a mixed team as we were so small. I also still remember some of the words to the school hymn!
