I grew up in a rural village in Somerset in the South West of England, before attending university in Bristol. I graduated with an honours degree in teaching, specialising in Early Years.

I am currently teaching a mixed age Reception/Year 1 class and as a Reception teacher in Chicago, feel that I can continue to inspire and create a fun filled classroom for children in their first years at school. I enjoy seeing the children develop and progress into independent and creative thinkers that are motivated and enthusiastic.

I advocate a creative and flexible curriculum and believe that every child is unique and that their education should promote and reflect a holistic approach, celebrating and nurturing diversity.

I have a number of skills and interests I enjoy doing and also reflect my personality. I enjoy art and textiles and have created many things in different media. I make my own greeting cards when time allows and these creative traits help me to explore and use my imagination and be innovative (this is handy for ideas for lesson plans/displays etc!). I am an avid reader and also enjoy creative writing. I am currently teaching colleagues/trainees ICT skills and basic computer techniques within my spare time. I enjoy travelling and have explored many countries throughout the world with very different cultures and have kept diaries of my time in each place.

I am extremely excited about starting work in Chicago and involving myself wholeheartedly into the life of the school and the city.
