I am currently a consultant for an airline software and solutions company, but I originally qualified as a primary school teacher where I taught Lower KS2 with a subject focus on Modern Foreign Languages and Physical Education. My experiences as a teacher has given me the important ability to understand not only the pressures faced by teachers and schools but also the fantastic and extremely hard work that everyone within education does. My current role is primarily focussed on helping airlines survive the crisis facing the airline industry through identifying areas of cost saving and revenue growth.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working closely with everyone working at and linked with this wonderful school and I am committed help deliver the school’s vision.
