1. Best thing about teaching?
There’s so many great things about teaching, where do I begin? The best thing though has to be seeing children in my class smiling, engaged and loving learning. That moment when a learning concept just clicks with a child and they get it.
2. Best city you've ever visited/lived in?
London is everything to me. It’s home and the best city that I’ve ever lived in.
3. A song you listen to when happy/sad?
When I’m happy you can catch me listening to ‘Music Sounds Better With You’ by Stardust. When I’m sad I’ll probably be crying along to ‘Hurt’ by Christina Aguilera.
​
4. Biggest education inspiration?
So many! Growing up I was inspired by so many amazing teachers. Since watching and reading Freedom Writers, I was greatly inspired by Erin Grunwell and her passion for teaching.
