About me
I was a teacher of English/Humanities for 35 years; 22 years as a Head Teacher. I loved being a teacher but I made the difficult decision to leave teaching and pursue other avenues, for example, my passion for travel. I do, however, intend to keep in close touch with the educational world through voluntary work and charitable links as I feel education is the most powerful tool we can employ in order to inspire and enable future generations to reach their full potential and act as guardians for society and the planet. I am passionate about travel which has led me to visit nearly 100 countries on every continent. This includes deserts, rainforest, Arctic and mountainous regions. I usually spend about a week in the Arctic in the winter each year where I have been on expeditions across glaciers, explored ice caves, canoed amongst icebergs and snorkelled on the continental divide in Iceland. I am an advanced skier and I aim to spend a week in mountainous regions to ski and explore. In addition, I have done long trips across deserts and though rain forests. During other school holidays I seek out new and less well travelled locations across the world. I have led numerous expeditions for students to China, Japan, India, Africa, New Zealand, Europe and the U.K. which have involved broadening the horizons of students. I have worked closely with the Outward Bound Trust to give young people life changing experiences in remote settings; and with the British Council on leading English Language Summer Camps in Eastern Europe and the Connecting Classrooms Programme which links U.K. schools with schools worldwide. I have a good understanding of world history, culture, heritage, geography, science and related topics which I feel would enable me to provide a positive visitor experience. I am very interested in issues related to the natural environment and conservation. I have been on many expeditions to see wildlife throughout the world. These include many safaris in Africa; bears in Romania and North America; penguins in New Zealand, Australia and South Africa; whales in North America, South Africa and Australia; and a sea lion colony on Kangaroo Island in South Australia. I have been a keen ornithologist since the age of ten when I joined the Young Ornithologists Club (Y.O.C.); later joining the RSPB. I love theatre/cinema/reading/hiking/museums/art galleries. I have been married to my wonderful husband, Richard, since 1989 and we have three children who are now adults.
