"I became a director because education is inextricably linked to the future of our parishes. To ensure that the light that the children who attend our schools can shine into the world as they grow and develop shines brightly in each of them. I see the single most important aspect of my role as a director being to make it as easy as possible for teachers to teach, and leaders to lead.

I am passionate about the power of education and feel that the Trust is best placed to continue to develop our Catholic schools as a vital and vibrant part of our parish life, making high-quality Catholic education available to all".
