I am a former BBC Radio Leicester presenter and producer. Before that I was a Deputy Headteacher in a Leicestershire comprehensive school. My degree was in history where I specialised particularly in Medieval history at York University. I am also currently a Deputy Lieutenant of Leicestershire where, filling in for the Lord Lieutenant, I may be called upon to represent HM The King at certain events. I am also Honorary President of a local Amateur Theatre Company and have written and produced shows which have been performed at Leicester's Curve Theatre.
