I moved to Witney about 10 years ago, after meeting my husband who lived here. We are the lucky parents to identical twin girls. Beatrice is at Madley Brook Primary and Emily is at Springfield, both in reception year at the Bronze Barrow. Emily has been at Springfield since 2016, attending the Springfield nursery. Emily is a very happy girl and is blossoming under the care she receives at the school. Our little family has received full and sincere support from Springfield and I wanted to find a way to give something back. When the opportunity arose to join the school as a new parent governor in December, I took it. I also started working as a volunteer at Springfield, one day a week, helping out wherever I’m needed.
In my career I’ve always liked a challenge, so after university I worked for British Steel, both in R&D and then in one of their plant. I have since had roles as a technical author then as operations analyst, before settling on the role of a business analyst. Since the birth of Beatrice and Emily I have the best job, being a stay at home mum to my beautiful girls.
When it comes to hobbies, I like making things and recently that means pottering about with beads and wire making jewellery. Right now, I’m into making beaded flowers and have set myself a goal, for 2018, to try and make a bunch of beaded flowers for our home.
