Dr H Lambert

Governor

My name is Dr Helen Lambert. I am a mum to three children at Kingsteignton School: one in year 4 and two in year 1. In my professional life, I am a freelance animal welfare scientist, which means I work with charities, governments, universities, and businesses all over the world to improve the lives of animals. I volunteered to become a school governor because I feel very passionate about the experiences my children have during these important school years, and being a governor is a way to support the school and them.
