As a small child I attended the Kindergarten at the Old School. These early experiences, learning about love and respect for others, had a big impact and is something I remember fondly. Years on, after studying Anthropology at university, I am now a chartered accountant working at the National Audit Office. I am keen to ensure children in Canterbury still have access to this amazing education.

I aim to bring a knowledge of finance, accountability and governance from my work to the Canterbury New Initiative as it tries to create a truly revolutionary and new educational experience. I will head up the finance committee and invite any parents, teachers or others who would like to be involved to get in touch!
