Ann Joughin

I began my career in London, working in the fast-paced environment of an investment bank. After gaining valuable experience in the financial sector, I decided to make a significant career shift and moved to the Northeast, where I started working in childminding. This change allowed me to focus on nurturing young minds and providing care in a more personal setting. Later, I transitioned again, this time into the education sector, taking a role at a secondary school. My diverse career journey highlights my adaptability and dedication to personal growth, as I moved from the world of finance to childcare and then to education, each step building on my passion for helping others.

I dedicated 19 years to the education sector, taking on various roles that allowed me to impact the lives of students and staff. One of my key positions was as an Attendance Officer, where I worked tirelessly to ensure students were attending school and supporting families to overcome challenges. After my time in education, I transitioned to A Star Attendance, where I became Office Manager. Outside of my professional life, I am married and have one daughter. I also shares my home with Milo, my beloved dog. We enjoy long walks, which offer me a peaceful escape. With a deep passion for making a difference, I am always driven by the desire to create positive change, both in my career and personal life.
