Teaching
I have always valued the art and craft of teaching. Through the years I have taught people from 6 months old to 99 years old of all levels and abilities.

I hold a PGCert HE (Post Graduate Certification in Higher Eduction).

Primary and Secondary Education
With theatre and dance organisations, I travelled the country offering access and inclusion workshops in schools along with professional development for teachers. This included working with:
The Royal Ballet School, Royal Opera, Young Vic, Siobhan Davies Dance and Greenwich and Lewisham Young People’s Theatre to name a few.
From 2009-2011 I was a resident dance teacher for Horniman Primary School.
Early Years
I was the founder of Move 'n' Make which between 2008-2015 lead movement and art classes and events for young people and their grown-ups. Many of those young people are now pursuing careers in the arts. For many years in the noughties I ran the children's creative dance classes at Chisenhale Dance Space.
Tertiary
For 20 years I worked with Age UK Richmond and Multicultural Richmond (formerly Ethnic Minorities Advocacy Group) delivering Falls Prevention classes as a qualified falls preventions practitioner for frailer and older people, as well as keep fit chair-based classes and line-dancing. I then went on to manage a portfolio of wonderful yoga, pilates and fitness instructors working with these fabulous groups.
