Accomplishments

Other than the UK, I have lived and was educated in Cyprus and South Africa as a child, and then Perth - Australia, Oman, France and Spain as an adult.

Whilst living in Oman I was a Scout leader for Beavers and Cubs.

As a newly qualified teacher I was selected for 'fast track' teaching and offered a HOD post, as well as being nominated by my NQT tutor to complete my Masters Degree. This I did not do as I moved to Australia.

As aircrew I attended many first aid incidents and held updated first aid certificates until I finished teaching.

I also had my own business at home - my workshop consisted of all workshop machinery - pillar drill, circular saw, mitre saw, band saw, CNC lazer cutter, I also held workshop classes for people wanting to learn new skills.


Additional Information

I currently live between Spain and the UK but will shortly be moving back to the UK for the foreseeable future whilst my youngest son attends University in Bristol.

I am very positive, energised and motivated person who is looking forward to getting back into the work force with a smile on my face.

Textiles, photography, pilates, yoga, padel, hiking, swimming, cycling.

I am a keen amateur photographer, having taken photographs worldwide, most recently in Japan, Italy and Switzerland. I am extremely focused on what I do and keep myself extremely fit attending classes in the gym on a daily basis. I love to travel and have been to most parts of the world with my work. My passion is hiking of which I recently hiked 3000m above sea level around the rim of the Matterhorn In Switrzerland. 

I am keen to help where needed and interact and communicate well with people from all walks of life.
