I joined the Trent College Alumni Office in 2011. My two young children at the time were pupils at The Elms Junior School. In 2017 I joined the Boarding House community as a duty tutor, first in Martin House and in 2021, I joined the Blake House team. In September 2023 I became a Sixth Form tutor which not only gives me a wonderful opportunity to guide students through the final part of their schooling journey and into a world of opportunity, it provides great insight to what our alumni of the future need from their school and the OT Society.
I love getting to know new people and hearing their stories. In alumni relations you are constantly hearing stories, uplifting, inspiring and nostalgic. It's extremely rewarding to be involved in helping Old Tridents to play a part in having a positive impact in the life of their school and importantly contributing to the educational experience of the pupils, whether that is making a difference financially or by offering time and knowledge. I also love how we can facilitate bringing old friends together, reconnecting friendships and sharing their achievements.
My children are now Old Tridents. My daughter (class of 2019) graduated Sheffield Hallam University with a Masters Degree in Criminology & Criminal Justice and my son (class of 2023) is studying Sport & Exercise Psychology at Loughborough University (as well as playing a lot of cricket!). I have a vested interest in Trent College not only as an employee but as a parent of Old Tridents! It is a pleasure to work alongside the OT Society Trustees and support their endeavours to further the interests of Trent College.
