I am a PhD candidate at the university of Bath, exploring the experiences of home educated teenagers.  Before starting my PhD I used to teach in  primary, secondary schools and in colleges, in England and in the Netherlands.

I am currently a classroom teacher and the lead of EAL, DEI and PHSE. I am interested and invested in; how we can better support bilingual children in the classroom as teachers. The start of my journey as the EAL lead has allowed me to: work with parents, host family events, work with Better Bilingual and work with the amazing people at Bath University. I want to continue to work on celebrating our wonderful languages at Easton and truly be a hub where language is celebrated.
