I was appointed to the governing body in November 2016 as a Co-opted member.

I have lived in Moulsham since 1981 when I moved here, from East London, with my husband and two sons.  An Early Years graduate from Anglia Ruskin University I have recently retired as Manager of Dovedale Nursery and Out of School care, a post I held for some 20 years.

I like to be busy and have organised a Girls Brigade group in Chelmsford for many years.  I have been involved with the organisation since I was 13 years old.

I was pleased to be asked to become a governor at Moulsham, an opportunity to serve the local community whilst maintaining an interest in education and seeing children thrive and reach their full

I became a Community Governor in February 2023, while my eldest daughter was in Year 1.  I also have a younger daughter who is very enthusiastic about joining Moulsham Infants. As a parent, I felt compelled to get involved with school life because my daughter has been very happy at Moulsham Infant School and has flourished under the guidance of the excellent teaching staff and nurturing community. 

I have worked in teaching for almost twenty years and I am dedicated to and passionate about the difference schools and teaching can make in children's lives. I am in charge of History in an Essex-based secondary school but have also worked in a pastoral role, as Head of Upper School Girls, and have led on Literacy across the curriculum. 

I hope that my experience in the education system and the care and commitment I take into the role as a parent of two young children, can help to make a difference and support the children, staff and broader community. It really feels like every child is well-known, nurtured and encouraged, and it's one of the things which really sets this school apart

My daughter started at Moulsham Infant School in 2021 and my son will be due to start in 2026.

When my daughter started at Moulsham Infant School, we had recently moved to Chelmsford and we were welcoming our son. Through the changes at home, the school provided such a welcoming and supportive environment where she settled so well, that I felt I wanted to give back where I can. 

My professional background is in business and finance and I hope to use that to support the school. 

My partner and I returned to the UK with our two kids in 2016 having lived and worked in New Zealand for seven years.  We chose to move to Moulsham after visiting the infant school and deciding it was where we wanted our son and daughter to go to school. 

It is a great school and moving to the area has been a great choice for us as a family.  Louis and Isabelle have both settled in to their new environment and made friends and we have enjoyed getting to know the other parents and being part of the school community.

I became a parent governor because I wanted to contribute to the school and also get involved with the local community.  I was on the board for Louis and Isabelle's nursery in New Zealand. I really enjoyed the experience, learnt a lot and am enjoying learning more about the school and helping it continue to be successful.

I joined the governing body at the end of 2022, a few months after my son started at the school. I grew up in the local area before moving to China to teach at international schools and private language institutions. I now work at the local university in the field of international partnerships, which gives the opportunity for people overseas to study for a UK degree. My career has given me experience in quality assurance in education, financial management and project management, skills which I hope to put to use as a governor.

I've been extremely impressed by the passion and dedication of all the staff at Moulsham Infant School and their desire to help every child reach their potential and love learning. I look forward to playing a part in helping the school continue to thrive.

I moved to Chelmsford in 2016, leaving behind London for a more community-oriented life. At that time, my two eldest children were in junior school, and the transition marked a new chapter for our family. My younger children joined Moulsham Infant School in 2022 and 2023.

In November 2024, I became a parent governor, eager to use my knowledge to benefit the community. Professionally, I am a Researcher Development Programme Designer/Technologist at , a higher education institution with nearly a decade of experience as a lecturer and curriculum leader at an FE college in London.

From my journey as a curriculum leader to my current role, I am passionate about lifelong learning and community development. I aim to bring strategic insight, academic rigor, and compassionate leadership to ensure every child in our community has access to high-quality education and opportunities to excel. This role allows me to combine my professional expertise with my commitment to supporting local education.
