What were your favourite subjects/best memories from school? My favourite subjects were always Maths and Geography. The way my teachers taught made the lessons genuinely enjoyable, and their teaching styles played a big part in speaking my interest. In the end, those two subjects came together perfectly in the job I have now. One of my favourite memories from my time at Dene Magna was receiving the Spirit of Dene Magna award in my final year. I was never the top student, but that award was a reassuring reminder that hard work and perseverance can take you far. What are you currently doing and how did you get there? I'm currently working as a Senior Consultant at Enevo in Leeds, where I lead my own team.After leaving school, I went on to study at the University of Exeter, earning a BSc in Environmental Science followed by an MSc in Conservation Science Ecology. I began my career in the acoustic industry in 2018, and since then, I've progressed steadily, gaining a Postgraduate Diploma in Acoustics and Noise Control. Through hard work and dedication. I've risen through the ranks to become a senior leader within my team.

I'm currently a Science teacher at Dene Magna School. I went straight to Hartpury to study Sports coaching and then to the University of Gloucester where I studied Sports Therapy. I worked for Drybook RFC as their sports Therapist and Woodside Primary School as their sports coach for a number of years. I then wanted to pursue a career in teacher and was employed at Dene Magna as a cover supervisor where I was supported by the Science department to lock into a career teaching Biology. I studied at the University of West Englad to carry out a PGCE in teaching Science. I was fortunate enough to interview at Dene Magna for a science teaching position soon after I had completed my PGCE and was offered the job.
