I am a member of the Senior Leadership Team at Our Lady of Lourdes Primary School in Wanstead, within the London Borough of Redbridge. I currently teach in Year 4, having previously taught in Year 6 for the previous seven years, as well as across other primary year groups and at secondary level. My leadership responsibilities include serving as Key Stage 2 Phase Leader, DT Leader, and Science Leader.

As Science Leader, I am responsible for the science curriculum from EYFS through to the end of Key Stage 2, ensuring clear progression and high-quality learning across the school. I have played a key role in developing whole-school curriculum design and progression of skills across all subjects. This work has supported a consistent, well-structured approach to teaching and learning that is now embedded across the school community.

I am passionate about high-quality teaching and collaborative leadership. I enjoy working with colleagues to support professional development, share best practice, and create a positive, inclusive environment where both staff and pupils can thrive.

Outside of school, I am a creative person with a wide range of interests. I enjoy attending clubs such as life drawing and dance, and I regularly visit art museums and galleries. These experiences inspire my teaching and allow me to bring creativity, curiosity, and cultural awareness into the classroom.
