A little about me…

I have been teaching for 13 years. I specialised in the Foundation Stage and have taught, Nursery, Reception and Year 1.

I have been back and forth between England and Egypt during my teaching career.

I love keeping fit by going to the gym and doing Yoga. My latest craze is doing the Insanity workout!!!

I have done 1 walkathon (26 miles) and would love to do the London Marathon (if it wasn’t in term time!!)
