Having worked as a Primary School teacher for 14 years, I am currently enjoying the challenges of working as a teacher educator with student teachers at Strathclyde University. With a background in science, and interests in literacy, creativity and technology, I am keen to make learning relevant for young people, including taking learning beyond the classroom. As a local resident, I see the Children’s Wood as an invaluable space for children to have fun, explore and learn about nature and the outdoors, and hopefully come to love it as I do!
