Meet the team

My journey in education began in 1999 as a teacher, working with children aged 8 to 12. When I moved to Scotland, I joined the Smiley Stars family in 2013 and have been proud to be part of its growth into the wonderful group of four nurseries we are today.

As Operations Manager, I work closely with our managers and teams to create happy, safe and nurturing environments where every child can learn, explore and thrive.

Being a mum myself, I understand just how precious every child is and the trust parents place in us. I believe every child deserves to feel loved, valued and supported, and this is at the heart of everything I do.

I am equally passionate about supporting our staff, as I strongly believe that happy, valued and confident practitioners are the foundation of excellent childcare.

The most rewarding part of my role is seeing children flourish, watching our teams grow and knowing we are making a positive difference to families every day.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, singing, learning to play the piano and enjoying a good jigsaw puzzle!
