Bio
I graduated from the University of Westminster in 1993 with BA in English & History. In 1994 I gained a Post Graduate Degree in Education at London University with English major. Whilst teaching English full time in mainstream education I studied literature & language in education at London University and was awarded a Master’s degree in 1997.
