I've been the Vicar at St Anne's Church since July 2017 and foundation governor at the school since that time. Both my sons who are now at the secondary school, are past students at St Anne's and as parents we are very appreciative of the nurturing and caring community they were part of before moving on. I am passionate about good governance in our schools, both holding leadership to account and providing the best pastoral support to staff, children and families in the school. I care deeply about a shared community across the school and the church, and to be a seamless relationship between the two, upholding our Christian values and ethos. I've been a governor at other schools, both church and local authority controlled, in my previous parishes for the last 15 years and bring a wealth of experience to this role, from both my professional and personal life.

I am a parent of 2 children at St Anne's in Years 3 and 6. I'm married to Darren and have lived in the area for 10 years. My background is community engagement around contentious environmental issues, in both the public and private sector.
I have been a PCC Governor since 2019 (my very first meeting was the Ofsted Inspector feedback!). I'm passionate about the Church and the School and hope to contribute to building these relationships. It's been quite a journey as a Governor to understand how schools run behind the scenes (mostly on zoom due to Covid)! I started working in the school office part-time in 2022. I have recently (October 2023) moved to be a Staff Governor as a member of staff team.
I love the values and ethos of the school and feel called to help and support the children at a valuable and important time of their learning. I live in Worksop and have a menagerie of animals to add to our busy family!
