About me
I am passionate about languages and have had several roles across the primary, secondary, and higher education sectors teaching and promoting languages.
I started my career as a secondary Modern Foreign Languages teacher (French, Spanish and German) and progressed to being Head of Department before moving into the primary sector, running after school and lunchtime language clubs.
I am currently developing a teaching toolkit for primary teachers, in conjunction with Cardiff University and Routes into Languages Wales, to embed the teaching of MfL in the primary sector and increase teachers' confidence.
As well as promoting Modern Foreign Languages I enjoy learning new skills; I am a mental health first aider and have recently undertaken a counselling course with Bridgend College.
I have experience of mentoring trainee and early career teachers and am a Senior Lecturer in Initial Teacher Education and lead Modern Foreign Languages in primary and secondary phases across UG and PG routes.
