I have worked as a TA and later English specialist HLTA since graduating in 2001. I have a degree in psychology and an MA in education with a focus on SEND. I specialise in literacy support, particularly phonics and dyslexia. As well as working as the Suffolk TA Network Coordinator, I work closely with Unity and Ipswich Associate Research Schools as an Evidence Lead in Education (ELE). In my spare time, I enjoy reading and belong to a local reading group. I also like board games, pub quizzes, cooking and spending time with my family and our dog Milo.
