Profile: 

"I have been a governor at Withernsea High School since March 2005 and Chair of Governors since the autumn term of 2011.

My husband and I have lived in Patrington for over thirty years and our four children all attended Withernsea High School. They all enjoyed their time at our school and benefitted from the excellent all-round education that the school provides.

I passionately believe that our students all deserve the very best education we can give them and Withernsea High School continues to deliver this to our students.

Our students also benefit from excellent pastoral support throughout their time in our care.

My background is medical, having worked as a Registered Nurse for many years before qualifying as a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor. I was the Clinical Service Manager for the Community Pain Management Service in Hull for nine years until recently.

I have been a Justice of the Peace for twenty six years and elected as Chair of the Family Panel."
