Who or what inspires you?
I have been inspired throughout my career by early education pioneers such as Froebel, Montessori, Bruner and Reggio Emilio. The emphasis they place on a young child s need to make sense of the world and develop through play, and the importance of the outdoors and the holistic approach to education that they championed, really resonates with me.
In life I have also always been inspired by people who live their lives adventurously. I was fortunate to be able to join adventurer Anna McNuff for a very small section of her barefoot run across Britain. She is joy personified.
