I
was born in March 1978, along with my twin sister Rachel, in Bath.
I obtained my degree in Modern Languages (French and German) at Aston
University in Birmingham. This involved spending a year working in
Germany (Frankfurt) as a translator. I recently started a German club
at school to help me brush up my skills!
After working in HR for 2 years I decided on a career in teaching.
I completed my PGCE in 2003 at Bath Spa University College. I survived
supply for a year (a real eye opener!) once I'd qualified then I fortunately
gained employment at St Aldhelm's in 2004. I am now in the exciting
world of Reception after teaching Year One for 2 years.
My
hobbies and interests include going to the gym. I aim to run the Bath
half marathon at some point in the near future when I have the time
to train properly! I completed a course in creative writing last year
but have not put it to any use as yet.
