I joined Parkside School as Bursar in March 2026 and bring more than 12 years of experience in school business management, including central roles within an academy trust. Throughout my career, I have enjoyed supporting schools through effective financial and operational leadership, helping to create environments where pupils and staff can thrive. What I love most about working in education is the unique energy of school life. I enjoy the business of the school day, the variety that each day brings, and the sense of purpose that comes from being part of a school community. Since joining Parkside, I have found it to be a truly special place, with a happy atmosphere and a wonderful environment in which to work. I am genuinely enjoying every mad minute of it! Outside of school, I am an avid cook and love travelling, as well as spending time with family and friends. My ideal Sunday downtime includes listening to The Archers Omnibus and preparing for the week ahead. I am always looking to learn something new because, as far as I'm concerned, every day really is a school day.
