About Me
My Experience
I studied Physics, English Literature and Philosophy, in this order, but got swept away by the latter and pursued this passion to PhD level. I have worked in many fields - catering, theatre etc. - but have worked as an Educator for twenty years. I have been in leadership roles since 2012.
My Passions
Apart from the woman I love, and have been graced enough to be loved by for over twenty years, I have a number of passions. Since childhood I have been fascinated by Horror, the Uncanny and the Fantastical in literature, film and the Arts generally. I'm a film muso, a book-enamorato, and avid painting-looker. I have a deep love of the mystery and wonder of Magic, particularly Mentalism. My skills may not be those of Derren Brown but I'm a 'Gentleman Amateur' and a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians.
My Skillset
Though I may, understandably, be mistaken for Jason Bourne occasionally (see above, captured in Vienna), my expertise is in different areas. I'm a leader in Education, a critical and creative thinker, able to communicate with passion, lucidity, and enthusiasm. My specialist areas are education leadership, teaching & learning, mental health & wellbeing, and performance management. Oh, and I'm a trained Mindfulness trainer so super-calm always, naturally.
Juvenilia - A blog
Here's where very occasional writings go. Mostly for experimental and ludic whimsy; occasionally more considered pieces. Not always easy to tell them apart, I admit.
Don't expect Nabokov.
