I am a teacher with 17 years’ experience, four of which were teaching University (University of Florida and Durham University) and the last 13 years have been as a Secondary school science teacher. My specialism is Biology, however I also teach Chemistry and Geography and I have also taught Sociology, PE, and ICT. As well as being on the Middleton Primary board of Governors, I also am on the Patients Participate Group at Middleton Old Forge Surgery and I am on the Ethics Committee for the Biology Department at Durham University. Any other free time I have is spent on dog walks in Teesdale with my husband and our two children.
