Professionally I have worked in relationship management and business development nationally within the financial services sector. Latterly I have been more focussed on supporting businesses in the local area and work as recruitment consultant at Castle Employment, specialising in accountancy and finance recruitment. I believe that my professional experience outside of the education sector can help to bring a different view point to the governing body. |

Period of Office: |

Profile: |
I am a medical doctor working as a consultant in Gynaecology and Obstetrics at Scarborough Hospital since 2009 September. I was born in India and my Education was in the prestigious school of Loreto Convent. My medical education was also completed in India. I also underwent several years of post-graduate training in London. My involvement with teaching has been since school days though not formal. I have always been interested in Teaching and Learning from early years helping my colleagues at school. A career in medicine involves life-long teaching and imparting knowledge to young trainees. This is a new role as a co-opted Governor and I look forward to being a part of the team of Governors at Newby and Scalby Primary School, helping and providing support to the governing body throughout. I would hopefully bring a different perspective and external viewpoint which may be useful in future. |
