Educational Background

• BSc (Hons), Computer Science and Maths, Bristol University, UK
• Currently studying a Masters in Data Analytics, Portsmouth University, UK

I joined BIS Hanoi in August 2023 and have over 20 years of experience teaching ICT and Computer Science. My previous schools include schools in Petersfield and Farnham in the UK, as well as a school in Milan, Italy.

I have worked as a head of department for 17 years in total and - coincidentally - also have over 17 years of experience in the IT industry.

As a teacher here at BIS Hanoi, I'm looking forward to gaining more experience with the IB programme, as well as learning about South-East Asian culture and food. In my spare time, I love to swim, sail, play golf and - of course - travel!
