 If you had a superhuman power, what would you have, and why?

Blimey, there’s so many. Ive always fancied being able to eat a banana and turn into Bananaman, but I’ll probably settle for the Powers of Invisibility.

   

 

Schooling?

A degree in European Studies and a portgraduate diploma in Education.

 How did you find yourself working here?

I am passionate about the benefit to children of attending clubs and activities outside of school hours, and I think a football club has to be one of the coolest venues to come to for activities.

 Hobbies?

I like walking and cycling.

 Favourite Sports Team

Brentford - of course.

 If you had a superhuman power, what would you have, and why?

If I had a superhuman power, I would choose the ability to time travel. That way, I could make learning history really fun!.
