I have been teaching since 2010 and I currently work as a Computer Science Teacher at Medina College on the Isle of Wight. I started my technical journey when I completed my O'levels, as instead of going into the 6th form, I chose to complete an Electrical Technician Apprenticeship for Plessey Radar (now BAE Systems). I then became a sponsored student and studied Micro Electronics & Computing at Oxford Brookes University. After graduating, I returned to BAE Systems to work as a Digital Design Engineer before changing roles to a Software Design Engineer. I have been involved in all stages of the Software Development Lifecycle, working on a range of equipment required for the Army, Navy and Air Force.

After 21 years, I decided to look for a new challenge, so I trained and qualified as a Computer Science Secondary Teacher.  

I am an active participant in my school's Federation Continuing Professional Development programme. With a passion for teaching, technology, and Computer Science, I am excited to be delivering teacher training sessions and share my advice and experiences with all of the aspiring Computer Science trainee teachers.
