I became a parent governor shortly after my eldest son started at Roselands. I have a professional background in Speech & Language Therapy and am now employed as the manager of a large multi-disciplinary specialist NHS team.

Alongside being a parent, much of my free time is also spent volunteering as a member of the local Coastguard rescue team.
I am passionate about upholding the values of the school to ensure that every child reaches their full potential.

I share with the governors' board my experience in Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND), safeguarding, communication and leadership.

Since my daughter started her education career with Roselands I have looked for an opportunity to support the school. With my son now attending and my wife working for the school I am thrilled to have been accepted as a parent governor.

My professional background is in facilities management and property consultancy supporting education clients which gives me an opportunity to help Roselands in many different ways. 

I am keen to help in any way I can to ensure our young people have the best possible start in life and see my role as a parent governor as an important part of their school journey.

When the opportunity to become a governor at Roselands Primary School arose, I immediately thought that it was something I wanted to do. My two boys, aged 5 and 8 years old, attend Roselands. It’s a great school and as a parent and a local resident, I want to see the school achieve and enjoy success after success.

I have been in education since 2003 as a Secondary School teacher and now as a History lecturer in FE and HE at South Devon College. I am also Associate Minister at Riviera Life Church in Torquay, which is a multi-generational church running many community and outreach projects, including a Food Bank (in partnership with Torbay Food Alliance) and a Baby Bank.

I believe all this accumulated experience will enable me to play my part and see Roselands Primary School achieve and enjoy great success.
