	Beccy Johnson, Director of Admissions & Marketing Notre Dame School, Cobham Beccy has had anything but a conventional career, although her current position as Director of Admissions and Marketing curiously takes her full circle: her first graduate job back in 1986 was in an advertising and PR agency. Experience as a Police Operational Researcher, Government Statistician, Management Consultant, e-business Developer and Garden Designer (whilst her girls were young) followed. Each role led organically, if not always obviously, to the next, and each move was driven by a craving to be challenged, a yearning to be creative and, most importantly, a determination to make a positive difference in people’s lives. In 2015, Data Manager maternity cover first brought Beccy to Notre Dame School. The warm, vibrant and authentic school quickly captured her heart, and serendipitously it soon offered up a new and exciting path.
