General Information

I have been a parent at Marian for many years but joined the Marian Staff in 2016 as a learning assistant. I really enjoy working alongside students and teachers.
In 2018, I moved into a new role as a Pastoral care assistant, which involves working with our international students. This is a role I love. Interacting with children and learning all about their cultures while at the same time teaching them about ours is a wonderful experience. Most importantly, I enjoy making all of our families feel welcome.
