About me
I am a History and Religious Education teacher at Quinton House School, having studied History at the University of Northampton. My passion for learning and meaningful conversation was reignited during my time at Nationwide Building Society, where I founded the Race Together network—an initiative designed to foster open, honest dialogue about race, history, and culture in the workplace. I was invited to deliver workshops and discussions that helped raise awareness and deepen understanding of race relations.Now in my fourth year at Quinton House School, I have led the Eco-Council for over three years, guiding students to achieve Distinction status in the Eco-Schools Green Flag award for two consecutive years. This work reflects my commitment to empowering young people to care for the planet through informed action and collaboration.I am also the co-leader of The Shire Project, an initiative that engages students in real-life fieldwork and data collection, promotes citizen science, and fosters autonomy, confidence, and curiosity in conservation.
Central to this work is the use of platforsuch as iNaturalist, enabling students to contribute to genuine scientific research while becoming part of a global community of explorers, learners, and environmental stewards. The project is currently active in both independent and state schools across Northamptonshire and will be rolled out to over 85 schools from September 2026.At the heart of everything I do is a belief that learning should be active, inclusive, and enjoyable. I am passionate about encouraging students and staff alike to get outside, explore their local environments, ask questions, share discoveries, and—most importantly—have fun while learning to understand and protect the world around them.
