Category of Governor: Parent Governor
Term of Office: June 2021- June 2025
About Me:
I am a commercial property solicitor at a national law firm. Day to day, my role ranges from acting for commercial developers with strategic land acquisitions and management to general commercial property leases, disposals, acquisitions and refinancing.
In my spare time, I volunteer with several initiatives such as: the Women in Planning West Midlands network, which was set up for the advancement and empowerment of women; I am the Scout Secretary for 11th St James’ Hill Scout Group in Mere Green; and a Trustee of the King Edward VI Charitable Fund. I believe that it is important for children to have a strong educational foundation for them to build upon. I am a strong advocate for gender equality and this starts from educating others from an early age. More broad opportunities available to children from an early age will open up more doors for children to explore as they get older.

About Me:
I have been a member of Team Mere Green since the first day of my ATLP SCITT training in 2015. Since then, I have taken pride in ‘making a difference’ for all those within our Mere Green community.
Within my current role as ‘Enhancing Teaching & Learning Through Technology’ Lead, I am responsible for ensuring that technology is integrated effectively across school and that it is used to enhance educational experiences.
I am also passionate about ensuring our children are active citizens. As a Parliament Teacher Ambassador, I support pupils’ knowledge and understanding of parliament, politics and democracy—whilst also providing an array of enrichment opportunities for our children.
I look forward to making a difference through my role as staff governor and further contributing to our fantastic community!
