I am a creative and motivated School and Sixth Form leader, with 18 years’ experience in education. I have a Masters Degree in Education, Leadership and Management. My passion for my subjects (Psychology and Sociology) has inspired my practice as a teacher, and leader in school. I take an emotionally intelligent approach, designed to foster intrinsic motivation. Highly self-directed I seek out and utilise literature and policy to benefit the young people in my care. I am passionate about the craft of teaching and enjoy working with colleagues to develop their practice. The role, influence and impact of teachers cannot be underestimated. I look forward to working with IFT to ensure that new teachers are given the best possible start to their career leading to a fulfilling vocation, and life changing moments for their students.
