Hi, my name is Gilly.
In a previous life I worked in media and marketing for Mediaworks as their National Rural Manager. I worked with radio, television and magazines including owning “Lattitude”, a lifestyle magazine, in Canterbury.
Outside of work, I’m passionate about walking my three dogs, plus horse riding, farming with my partner.
My students say that I create a relaxing, fun environment where they can understand what it takes to be a safe and risk-aware driver for life. I treat each new driver as an individual and discuss personalised plans to help them respond positively to any challenges on our roads.
I pride myself in being a great communicator, who is patient and calm and get great joy from seeing my students succeed. When I receive a text from a student to tell me they’ve passed their test it makes this career very rewarding.
I look forward to guiding you on your driving journey.
