I was a Secondary Chemistry Teacher for 18 years before I joined the LOST team to support the development of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award in East Ayrshire.

I have been involved in running DofE groups for more than 20 years and hold a Summer ML qualification. In my role I am responsible for supporting expeditions (especially Gold) and have a focus on training school staff and volunteers so they are able to take groups out un-assisted.

In addition I have responsibilities for the organisation of the Dirty Weekend, The “O” Factor and the CPD training for LOST.

I am an Accredited Practitioner of The Institute of Outdoor learning (APIOL)

Outside work I enjoy sailing, both dinghies and yachts as well as hill walking.
