"Before Joining OCR in April 2022, I worked as a subject lead for Art, Design and Technology including Design and Engineering at my local state school. I led a large team of teachers in developing the curriculum and the department, increasing student numbers. I gained my PGCE from Goldsmiths College, London 12 years ago, and worked in a range of educational settings from state, private and international, with many years as head of department since.  

In my spare time I love to travel abroad, ski and have recently taken up learning the saxophone."
