About Me

I graduated from Southampton University with a Psychology degree and completed postgraduate studies in education, followed by a research master’s at the University of East Anglia. My national and international career in education spans all levels of the system. I began as an EYFS teacher, taught the full primary range, and later held various LA advisory roles. In 2005, the DfE appointed me as a regional and National Director for primary literacy in England.

After the National Strategies period, I became an LA Director of Learning, overseeing school improvement for 350 schools. Now, through my consultancy, I work with UNICEF, the National Literacy Trust, and headteachers across the UK. Recognising the challenges in education, I trained as a wellbeing coach, developing ‘The Achieving Balance Model’ to help education leaders sustain resilience while ensuring the best outcomes for children.
