I have always lived in Cornwall. I am a farmer’s daughter and now a partner in a farming business. I also run a glamping business which keeps me busy in the summer months. I was a Family Lawyer which was both challenging and rewarding, and although I stopped practising some years ago, before I had my 2 wonderful children, going back to Law is not something which I have ruled out. We have 2 dogs and love taking them to the beach for a run and a swim - my children and dogs happily spend hours on the beach. Spending time with the my family and friends is very important to me. I was elected as Governor of Nancalverne in September 2021 and look forward to working with the wonderful team at the school.
