I joined Gateshead Council as Head of Centre for Bensham/ St Chad’s Children's Centre in April 2006. As this is a new Children's Centre I am working with a small team of staff to ensure that there is plenty on offer in the local community to support children under 5 and their families.

I spent most of my childhood in Gateshead and my parents still live here, however I have lived in London for many years, working as a primary school teacher, headteacher and school advisor. I now work part-time and spend the rest of the week looking after my young son, James.
