After 11 years in Washington, D.C., and 19 years teaching Physical Education, my family and I recently embraced a new adventure here in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Early on in my teaching career, I had the privilege of working in inner-city schools in the UK. These experiences shaped my ethos, which is to emphasise the importance of holistic development and nurturing students' mental and physical well-being.

I seized the opportunity to teach at the NAE British International School of Washington, D.C. in the USA, where I had the opportunity to create and grow a comprehensive P.E. curriculum. The programme emphasised movement in addition to sport-specific activities, and prioritised student mental health and well-being as integral components.

I believe in the power of Physical Education to positively impact students' lives. It is my constant desire to instil in students the values of teamwork, resilience, and a lifelong love for sports and movement. I am excited to continue helping students here at BIS Hanoi to realise their full potential, both inside and outside the classroom.
