Biography

After studying BSc Information Technology and Women’s Studies at Middlesex University, I went to Leeds University to complete my PGCE (Secondary) in Computer Studies and Outdoor Activities.  My first teaching post was in Leicester in an inner-city, multi-cultural  11-16 school, where I eventually became Second on the ICT department. I left there after 7 years to take up the post of ICT Co-ordinator in a local middle school.  My final teaching post was in Bristol in an 11-18 school as Head of ICT.  I undertook this role for 6 years after which I moved to Wales.

Additional Interests

I have marked ICT GCSE papers for OCR for over 10 years and also did a spell of coursework moderation.  I also mark IGCSE ICT papers for Cambridge International Examinations.
