Educational Background

• Bsc (Hons) Psychology, University of Northampton , UK
• iPGCE University of Derby UK

I will be joining BIS Hanoi having spent the past nine years living and working in São Paulo, Brazil. Before moving to Brazil, I lived in South Korea for 15 years, giving me extensive experience of international life and a deep appreciation for different cultures and communities.

For most of my career, I have taught English Language and English Acquisition and, more recently, Psychology at both IGCSE and IB level. Throughout my career, I have enjoyed helping students develop confidence, curiosity and a global perspective. Having lived and worked in several countries and as a parent, I value creating a warm, supportive and inclusive environment where every child feels they belong and can thrive.

Outside of school, I enjoy travelling with my family and embracing opportunities to explore new cultures, places and food together.
