I have now been the Chair of the Governors of the school for almost 1 year and have been a governor involved with the school for over 4 years. I have been thoroughly enjoying the journey that the school is on.

 My background has been in construction industry for all of my career. I have worked and lived in many countries in the Middle East, Africa and the Far East as well as the UK. I have also spent over 15 years lecturing and running MBA modules for business schools in the UK and also the Far East, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I've been a governor since September 2018 and have really enjoyed getting to know the lovely community at DPS since then. I was born in Hampshire but spent some of my childhood in East Africa eventually coming back to school in Winchester. I trained as an Architect and practiced in Devon and for HCC for 16 years before God asked me to serve him as a vicar! I was ordained in 2014 and came to be vicar in Hartley Wintney, Winchfield and Dogmersfield in 2017. I'm married to Vince, have 2 grown up children and a cheeky little dog called Finn. I love country walks, growing things in my garden, creating things with my hands and by being surprised by God! 

I have lived in Hartley Wintney for nearly 36 years, and we have raised our two sons in the village. I have been involved in many village organisations during this time and have loved living in such a wonderful community. I am a member of St John’s Church in Hartley Wintney and have been involved with the Bumps & Babies group for 10 years, leading it for the last 3 years.

As a mum of one boy who attends Dogmersfield Primary School, I am passionate about creating opportunity for children in the area to receive excellent educational, pastoral and wrap around care. I hope to make sure school life gives them great memories, long lasting friendships and the best chance of success as an adult, including a healthy mind-set. I am a qualified Accountant currently working as a Finance manager in the corporate travel market. My work entails financial planning and analysis for the Technology function and Business partnering with the many project leaders and executives. I am keen to extend the skills I have gained from my working life into being a great parent governor.

I am the Local Authority Governor sitting on the board. I was appointment in July 2022. I am looking forward to working with the other governors in supporting the school in achieving high standards of education and helping the children reach their full potential.
My background is in the NHS where I worked as a physiotherapist.
