Term: January 2018 - August 2025

 

I have lived in Great Missenden for 22 years.  I have two children, both of whom attend The Misbourne.  My son is in his final year and my daughter is in year 10. 

I have a well-established career in the automotive industry, and am also a business coach specialising in middle leader coaching.  I also coach people returning to work after a career break or parental leave.   

I have been on the Board of Trustees for five years now and have been Chair for two.  Understanding about the education system, the funding, and how this works in practice, is of great interest to me.  I am passionate about the school and its place in the local community, and how I, and my fellow Trustees, can support the school, the students and the staff.

Our family moved to the Chilterns over 30 years' ago and our daughter successfully completed her GCSEs and A Levels at The Misbourne before graduating with a First Class Honours Degree from UEA, where she continues to study for a Masters.

Since leaving school, I continue to enjoy what has been a long career in The City of London with NatWest, where I am proud to have played a role in helping many hundreds of businesses, community organisations and colleagues achieve their goals and ambitions. 

I have served on the Trustee Board at The Misbourne since 2012 in various roles, including Chair, and currently bring my financial and commercial experience to the Finance and Audit committees, where I also champion improvement in reading skills and the sustainability agenda across the school.

I am enjoying retirement after a career of 43 years in the financial services industry. During my career I undertook a range of roles, these included in financial reporting, risk management, data control and change management. I was also an Employee Trustee of two company pension schemes.

I have been a school governor for over 25 years and have a range of experience across early years, primary and secondary phases in both mainstream and special schools. During this time I have been a member of various committees and panels and have experience of federation and conversion to academy status.

I am a big sports fan, although these days the enjoyment comes from spectating rather than participating! My other interests include travel, walking, natural history and the arts.

I am a firm believer in the importance of education and the power of school communities to inspire children and young people to develop a joy of learning and the life skills to lead happy and successful lives.

My family and I live in Holmer Green and we've lived in the local area for almost 20 years. Both our children have had their primary education in Great Missenden, with my son currently in Year 9 at The Misbourne. 

I have 20+ years experience working within the financial services industry in different banks, investment banks & leasing companies. I have sat on SLTs and feel passionately about good leadership, communication and working as a team. I now have my own consultancy as a business & leadership coach working with managers who wish to become leaders & championing young women in business. I also volunteer with The Girls Network charity, who provide mentoring for girls from under-privileged backgrounds.

I have previous school governor experience, having been on the governing board of a local primary school, and I was Chair of the Finance Committee during my tenure. I am passionate about supporting schools, staff & students and enjoy the challenge of governance, whilst also being involved in my children's education and being able to support the local community. In my spare time I enjoy travelling/planning trips abroad, cooking and I am an avid supporter of my children's sporting activities at the weekend.

My husband and I have lived in Little Kingshill for over 20 years with our two daughters.

When I was growing up, I was lucky enough to have passionate teachers in a school very much like The Misbourne.  I felt that I wanted to give back to my local community. so, when the opportunity to join the Trustee Board came up in December 2019, I jumped at the chance.

I left Hull University with a degree in Economics and joined 3M in finance, then moved to sales and marketing and business leadership. While working for 3M, I completed my MBA and expanded my career into general management.

I have had a very enjoyable and successful career leading several multinational businesses through major transformations, as MD and in several Board positions, both in the UK and internationally.  I am pleased to be able to bring this wealth of experience to my role as a Trustee.

I have always been passionate about the fact that it is people who create success. Ensuring the best care is taken of people's wellbeing is essential. It is therefore an honour to be the Safeguarding and Wellbeing trustee for the school.

I have recently moved to South Heath, having grown up in the West Country and spent some time in London. My wider family moved down from Manchester to Amersham many years ago and have been here ever since.

After reading law at university, I had a short stint in the Army before joining the Civil Service. I have worked across operations, projects and policy roles. I am currently the head of a broad policy brief and manage a large national multi-skilled collaborative programme to deliver a government commitment.

As a keen cricketer I’ve joined the Ballinger Waggoners, having always played cricket. I’ve also been a member of a MoD regional committee for veterans and armed forces pensions. I’m hoping as a Trustee of The Misbourne that my experience working in central government, bringing skills from government audit and assurance, and leading a multi-skilled team, will be of use to the school.
