Having studied A Levels in English Literature, History and Business, my love for English Literature led me to study it at university. I completed my degree at the University of Wales, Cardiff after which I studied my Masters of Business Administration at Cardiff Business School.  Following university, I worked in HR and Personnel before making the decision to pursue a career in education.  In 2004. I was placed as a trainee teacher at North Manchester High School for Girls and I have never looked back.  Twenty years later, I am still incredibly proud to serve the community of North Manchester.  My role as Assistant Vice Principal: Community Engagement involves bringing together pupils, parents, carers and academy colleagues to ensure the pupils of Co-op Academy North Manchester are empowered to meet their potential and flourish in their lives.
