About this Member

I am a mum of two teenage boys and work as a school counsellor. In the past I have worked as a librarian in special and academic libraries before I moved into education. I live with my partner, two cats and two goldfish.

I do try to rate fairly, and only give a VU to reviews that look as if a lot of thought and effort goes into them. I have nominated for Crowns, but have not put this in the message - can't see the point when I am leaving a glowing comment anyway.

I will always return rates.
