I am 47 years of age, married with two children, Joshua aged 12 and Meghan, aged 8, both of whom were/are at FiveWays.

I was brought up in Burntwood and have lived on the Chase for 21 years. I therefore know the area well. I have served as a governor for over 12 years, both in primary and secondary schools, and have been a governor at Fiveways since 2001.

I am a Chartered accountant and worked for 14 years in Practice. I am currently finance director of a demolition company for which I have worked for 9  years. I am able to bring financial, business and personnel management expertise to the school.

My hobbies include all kinds of needlework, gardening and tracing my family tree when time off from temporary taxi driver to the kids allows.
