Early in my career, I became English Lead and later took on the role of Advanced Skills Teacher, supporting colleagues across the city with best practices in literacy. During the first lockdown, I completed the NPQSL qualification, focusing my project on raising reading standards and promoting reading for enjoyment – which further fuelled my passion for this essential skill.

I’ve always been a keen reader and believe every child should have the chance to experience the joy and opportunity that reading brings. When I discovered The Reading Doctor, I knew it was the perfect way to use my experience to make a real difference to children’s reading journeys.
