Briefly describe your career (teaching or otherwise) to date.

Before moving to Kennedy House, I spent 2 years teaching in the UK. I began as a cover teacher and enjoyed teaching every year group from Year R to 6. Before teaching, I worked in a variety of educational settings such as a Forest School and a Montessori Nursery. I spent many years as a nanny to children of a variety of ages, a role I very much enjoyed.

​

Why did you choose teaching as a career and what do you try to instil in your pupils?

I have always been passionate about working with children and it was a natural choice for me to choose teaching as my career. Nannying and the Early Childhood Studies degree I undertook informs my teaching every day. I hope to instil a love of learning in the children I teach, a confidence in themselves and the knowledge that they are able to achieve anything they put their minds to. Teaching is incredibly rewarding and no two days are the same!

​

Apart from your classroom teaching role, what else do you get involved with at the school?

I am very pleased to help coach various sports.

​

In your opinion, what makes Kennedy House special?

Kennedy House is a very special school. There is a real family feel which makes all feel welcome. This is reflected in how happily the children arrive each day. The children are polite and considerate with a real thirst for learning. It is exciting to be part of a school in which opportunities are given to shine in and out of the classroom.

​

Who or what inspires you?

I had the most wonderful teacher at my prep school. Her kindness, understanding and patience made her an inspiring teacher. Her teaching inspires my teaching.

​

Tell us something that not a lot of people know about you.

I very much enjoy challenging myself, I was lucky to have the opportunity to trek to Everest Base Camp. It was a thrilling experience.
