Hobbies and more!

Outside of teaching I enjoy trying to impress my children with my latest baking attempts, am an aspiring gardener and love fresh air! My baking fails are ideal stories to demonstrate how they help you to grow and build resilience.

Before teaching, I worked in the city in customer success and training. I taught professionals from graduates to CEO’s how to use data platforms. I am therefore very adept at adapting to learner needs and learning styles.
