Lucy Weston

I am a very active person and enjoy being busy. I enjoy running, swimming and reading. I was an experienced rower for many years, and I believe that this sport has given me many skills that can also be reflected in roles within education. For example, taking part in competitions comes with its losses, and this has taught me to be resilient and have the self-confidence to push myself. I strive to be a positive role model and I have a passion for helping others.
