  Having recently retired, I have been keen to use my many years of experience to continue to benefit the wider community. My last role was as part of the senior leadership team of a primary school in Birmingham, specifically as School Business Manager. I am passionate about education and became a governor in the hope that I make a positive contribution to Claverdon. I live locally and my hobbies include cooking and gardening and I am enjoying the freedom of retirement and seeing more of my grandchildren.
