Professional Experience I am a qualified accountant with a wealth of experience and expertise in accounting and financial management. My current professional role as Finance Director within the Retail Sector entails playing a key role in ensuring the fiscal health and strategic direction of the businesses and institutions I work with.
Hobbies and Interestes Spending time with family and friends, volunteering for our local and Jewish community, and attempting to get to the gym more than once a week!
Thing I love most about North West The sense of community we have at North West is like nothing I’ve experienced elsewhere, and I’m so proud to be a part of our North West family.
Why I Joined the School Governors/Trustees I am deeply committed to fostering a supportive and enriching educational environment at the North West. I work closely and collaboratively with fellow board members, school leadership, and the wider community to uphold the school’s mission of academic excellence, Jewish values, community and inclusivity. Both my daughters go to North West, and as both a governor and parent, I feel a strong sense of responsibility to ensure we build North West to be the best it can be both now and, in the future, while continually ensuring the wellbeing and development of all the children at North West.
Fun Fact I love hiking and before having children enjoyed participating in charity treks, and am especially proud to have climbed Kilimanjaro!
