Subject Taught: Religious Studies 

Why do you love your subject?  I love Religious Studies because it connects to so many areas: History, Politics, Art, Literature, Psychology, Sociology. It's not about the belief systems - but about how people live, struggle and find hope. I love how it invites empathy and critical thinking - you really see the world in different cultural lenses.  

What university did you attend and what did you study?   I studied Sociology at City University London and completed my PGCE at Goldsmiths University.  

What do you want for our students at Waterside? I want all the students at Waterside to be the best version of themselves. 

Interesting fact: I have travelled over 25 countries to immerse myself into different cultures!
