I am the Curriculum Lead for Maths and ICT at Medina College on the Isle of Wight, with teaching experience dating back to 2011. Early in my career, while working at my first school in Kent, I was given the opportunity to mentor PGCE students. This experience ignited a lasting passion for supporting and inspiring new teachers as they begin their journey into the profession. Since then, I have continued to find great fulfilment in guiding trainees and the teachers in my faculty, sharing my knowledge and experience, and helping them develop the confidence and skills they need to thrive in the classroom.
