I have lived in Chelmsford since I was 2 years old and Chelmer Village since 1999. My daughter attended Barnes Farm Schools from 2007. 

I have had a varied career including 15 years in Advertising/Marketing followed by 20 years of self-employment and running my own Chelmsford based small business. Am currently working in Airport Security. 

Ever since my daughter started at pre-school, where I was Treasurer throughout her duration there, and then moved on to Barnes Farm Infants, I have been so grateful to the wonderful setup of the school and teaching staff that when an opportunity arose to become a school governor, it was an honour to accept such a role. 

I aim to work with my fellow governors, teaching staff and parents to ensure the continuation of an amazing school, which is so important to giving every child a fantastic start to their education.
