  • BA, Child Development and Education, Miriam College, Philippines

Karissa has been part of the BIS and BVIS group of schools since 2013. Prior to moving to Vietnam, she was a kindergarten teacher in an exclusive school in the Philippines and completed her teacher training in BIS and BVIS HCMC for a year before becoming an Early Years teacher at BIS Hanoi.

She had the pleasure of working at BIS Hanoi for 7 years as an F1, F2, and F3 teacher. In her role at BVIS HCMC, she works with dedication as an EAL Teacher.

Karissa enjoys being part of the children's discoveries and learning journeys. As an EAL teacher, she likes to apply effective strategies in teaching English to beginners. Being bilingual herself gives Karissa a unique advantage in teaching EAL children, allowing her to better understand the challenges bilingual learners encounter and connect with them on a deeper level.

Outside of school, she enjoys reading and watching documentaries and finds joy in going to new places and trying out new cuisines.
