I joined the Gaynes School support staff team in 2009.  Over the years, I have gained a wealth of experience of working in a school environment. I have worked within the Finance and Operations department for the last 15 years.

My commitment to the school and the community as a whole helps me deliver a high level support to the school and ensure the needs of the students and staff are met.
