Prior to January 2004, I was living and working in South Africa for the Central News Agency as an Administration Manager, I went straight into work from leaving high school in 1982. My son was attending school at Lindley Infants where I started as a volunteer at the school in 2002; from there I was offered a paid position and undertook training through Huddersfield College and Kirklees Education Services while working at Lindley. In 2015 I left Lindley School doe a bit of a career change in a coffee shop . I enjoy baking and cooking hence the change . In my spare time I like to go walking . My greatest strength is my calm and patient way of dealing with challenging situations.
