Chemistry Teacher
I graduated from Queen Mary, University of London with a degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and then further attended The Institute of Education to gain my PGCE in Secondary Science. I worked in a school in East London for two years before coming to Shanghai to start my international educational journey.
I decided to become part of the BISS family because I strongly believe in the motto of the school, ‘Be ambitious’. I believe that any student can achieve anything they want as long as they put their minds to it.
