I am an Assistant Head of year at a local secondary school.
My youngest daughter has been dancing at Streetz Ahead for 2 years so being asked to be a trustee was an honour as it gave me the opportunity to be apart of something which my daughter enjoyed.
Having previously worked in a behaviour unit and a Mental Health hospital school, my key focus is the health and well being of young people with particular care for those who suffer with mental health issues.
