My Story
When I embarked on my PGCE, little did I know that it would ignite a passion for teaching. Originally intending to pursue a career in environmental education, to my surprise I found that I enjoyed the classroom environment, designing captivating lessons, and sharing my enthusiasm for geography.
​
Since 2012, I have had the privilege of teaching in various schools across Kent, each offering a unique context and valuable experiences.
Currently, as the Subject Leader for Geography and Environmental Systems and Societies, I have the opportunity to leverage my expertise and passion to ignite an interest in and concern for the wider world. Previously, I led a Humanities department, which offered the opportunity to nurture students' understanding of geography, history, religious studies, and citizenship.
​
One of my most fulfilling endeavours whilst Head of Humanities was the creation of a curriculum from scratch. It was no easy task, but witnessing the positive impact on students made every challenge worthwhile. Later as I started my current role, I eagerly embraced the challenge of redesigning the geography curriculum, aiming to provide an inspiring and cohesive learning experience for our students.
While I specialised in geography, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in teaching history, environmental science, and religious studies. Moreover, I am deeply committed to developing curricula that embrace diversity, inclusivity, and empowerment. I strive to integrate education for sustainable development and foster a sense of global citizenship. I strongly believe that education should be engaging, meaningful, and accessible for all.
​
I am excited about the opportunity to work with you and contribute to the educational journey of your students. Please don't hesitate to get in touch to explore how I, as Mrs. Humanities, can support your needs.
