I have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the community at BIS Hanoi since 2022. Prior to joining BIS Hanoi, I worked at the British School of Beijing and a primary school in Exmouth, UK.

With over a decade of teaching experience, I have taught students across Key Stage 1 and 2. Throughout my career, I have also taken on leadership roles, including being a Subject Leader for Maths, Head of Year and Phase Leader.

When teaching, creating a safe yet challenging environment is of utmost importance to me. I want my students to feel secure and confident in taking risks within learning. By setting clear expectations and promoting a culture of respect, teamwork and empathy, I aspire to create a space where students feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and ideas.

In my spare time, I enjoy travelling and exploring different parts of the world, as well as trying and cooking a wide range of international foods.
