Additional Information

In my career I have managed many staff and volunteers and worked in partnership to establish new funding sources and to create new services. In all the training I deliver I aim to involve the participants fully and to make the learning experience a memorable one. I use a variety of techniques to involve participants successfully, including group work, sketches, role plays and discussions. Humour and informal debate allows for good dicsussions to be held. Outside of work, I have worked with children with learning difficulties, run a youth club and volunteered in a homeless project. I enjoy playing golf and am a season ticket holder at Tottenham Hotspur.
