Educational Background

• BA (Hons), History, University of Reading, UK 
• QTS, School Direct, UK 
• ECT Induction, UCL Early Career Teacher Programme, University College London, UK 

I joined the BIS Hanoi community in August 2024, having previously taught in Oxfordshire, UK, where I taught both Year 5 and Year 6. I gained leadership experience in numerous subjects, including RE and PSHE, before becoming the subject lead for both PE and Maths. 

Having completed my ECT induction with UCL (University College London), I’m delighted to be teaching Year 6 here at BIS Hanoi. I adopt a holistic approach to teaching and I’m passionate about helping students develop into well-rounded, confident individuals. 

Alongside teaching, I enjoy producing music, alongside playing chess, the piano, board games, squash and other sports.
