I am inspired by my Dad every day as he continues to embrace life and enjoy everything it has to offer. Growing up, I watched him work hard to achieve what he wanted for his family whilst never compromising the time he spent with us all. When I began my route to teaching, with my own family, my goal was to show him I could do the same.  He taught me to be accepting of everyone and through him I have learnt to have empathy and immense appreciation for our diverse culture and all it has to offer.

I feel immensely lucky to have achieved my childhood dream of playing professional football. I dedicated vast amounts of time, sweat and tears to realise this dream. This experience has supported my hunger to inspire the next generation to aim for the stars, as I believe, anything is possible when you work hard. Being a teacher fills me with enormous pride. Knowing I am having a positive impact on the pupils, and aiding them on their journey, is the most satisfying feeling to end each day.
