Hello, my name is Beks.  I always wanted to be a teacher but was told it would never happen!  So armed with grit and determination I wanted to prove them all wrong, so I took the wibbly wobbly path gaining life experiences first then eventually starting my teaching career aged 25 in the hair, beauty, and holistic therapies industry.  I have taught in schools and FE colleges and have settled finally at Barnardo’s.  I have been employed with Barnardo’s for over 13 years in various roles, I now manage staff working on the Study Programme.  I am passionate about learning and unlocking the potential in everyone, to be the best they can be. I am Bilingual – my other language is British Sign Language; I volunteer within the local Deaf community supporting Deaf and Hard of Hearing young people and adults.

In my spare time I like teaching the basic communication skills needed to allow people to communicate with a Deaf person using British Sign Language, and I try where possible to fit in eating out and friends and family.  On a weekend, you will find me either next to a river with my camera (I love photographing wildlife and have won many awards for my photography), looking around castles and churches or on a field digging for treasure as I am a keen metal detectorist.
