I’m from Cardiff originally but moved to Bath four years ago to start work as a special education teacher, which I’ve done ever since. I’m 29 and have a very forgetful and disorganised mind with a contradictory eye for detail.
Teaching has been great to me so far and I feel quite privileged to be working with the pupils I do. It was something that came through chance as I spent a couple of summers in summer camps in the US, the first being for children from underprivileged backgrounds and the second for young people with special needs, including autism.
It was this experience that led me to my current profession and, like many of the Guardian’s Secret Teacher articles, I find it difficult sometimes but I don’t plan on quitting it anytime soon. I enjoy playing and keeping up to date with football as a hobby and am a film geek.
I started reading the Guardian when I first got a smartphone back in 2011. The Guardian app was among one of the first apps I downloaded and it has become a fixture ever since.
I love the top 20 photographs of the week and the football journalism is the best I know. This includes the excellent Football Weekly podcast. I love the articles written by Frankie Boyle, David Mitchell, Barney Ronay and Sid Lowe.
