Can you describe a typical working day for you?

I like to get up early and check my email and messages first thing. Deal with any issues that might have come up.

Then I normally sort out my to do list for the day and work on those. I often take a mid-day break and go the gym and then a few times a week I will head into the Globe and help on shift or meet with the school.

The Goonies. It’s just the best film ever made. If I ever need a pick me up I watch it and it always make me happy. “Goonies never say die.”

What do you think the future holds for Schools Plus?

I think Schools Plus will keep expanding, both in schools and in its organisation. There have been many huge leaps for the company in the time I have been with them and it is exciting to see all the new improvements and people coming. I think the future looks very good for Schools Plus!
