I joined Orchard Community Trust as Trust Business Manager in 2021, within 12 months progressing to Chief Finance Officer.

Joining Orchard was my first opportunity to work in the Education Sector following a career in the private sector where I gained the knowledge and experience in Business Operations and Financial Management.

I am passionate about ensuring that our resources are utilised efficiently by giving the children of Stoke-on-Trent a quality education in a nurturing environment to enable them to become talented and respectful adults.
