Background and Interest in Governance
I am a technically minded person with a thirst for learning all thinks technical and risky. I currently work for one of the world’s largest financial companies as a risk Analyst. I have a very wide remit due to working in the same department for 14 years.
My employer, on occasions arranges for groups of Employees to attend various schools to do book readings with children. I took part in this exercise and its what first got me interested in children’s education.
I wanted to become a governor because I heard from friends who were governors about how educational it was and how the decisions they made had a big difference. I am not from Brighton but have spent most of my Brighton residency (25 Years) living in Moulsecoomb and Bevendean. I like the area very much and I want to give something to the local community. I feel children are such an important part in the shaping of the future they should be getting the best education possible. Good schools need good governors!
Hobbies and interests
I like learning how things work; I literally take technology apart to see the inner workings of the hardware and coding inside. I found this helps me better understand the whole picture.
Football: I am an Arsenal fan. Enough said. J
Ancient History: I have a vast interest in ancient history
Technology J I am a very big geek J
And of course I love spending time with my family and close friends.
