I have been a member of St Brigid’s parish for over thirty years. My three children all went to St Brigid’s school. Whilst my children were very young I was one of the parents who helped Sr Conleth manage the preschool which was held in the presbytery when Fr Neylon was parish priest.
I have recently retired as the Deputy Head Teacher at St Dunstan’s Catholic Primary School in Kings Heath. This has given me a good knowledge and understanding of managing and leading the teaching and learning within a primary school.
I try to support the parish in many ways including Reading at Mass and being an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist as well as helping out at fund-raising events. I believe that it is important to support both the parish and school community and look forward to working closely with colleagues on the Academy Committee as well as the teachers and support staff.
I enjoy spending time with my family (especially my grandchildren.) I also enjoy gardening. I am also a member of the St Vincent de Paul Society (SVP) and work as part of a local team to raise funds and provide food and other essentials for the homeless and vulnerable families.
