    Year 5 Leader and Teacher

    I am originally from Manchester, England and have also spent a few years living near London while studying at university. I moved to Chicago in August 2015 and have loved experiencing a new city. I really enjoy traveling to lots of new places in America and seeing all the different sights this country has to offer! Outside of teaching, I have spent many years training as an allstar cheerleading athlete. I have coached and trained competitively and have had the honor of representing England at the Cheerleading World Championships in Orlando, Florida for four years. I love running the cheerleading club at BISC Lincoln Park alongside Ms. Penner, and it’s great teaching children how to stunt, jump, dance and tumble!

    I grew up in a lovely area of England called Ascot until the age of 18 when I moved to study in the seaside city of Brighton. I loved living by the sea and thoroughly enjoy any water-based activities, such as swimming and kayaking. For the past 5 years, I have been living in East London where I completed my PGCE at Goldsmiths University. Since graduating I have taught for 4 years at a wonderful London primary school. Living in another major city excites me, and I cannot wait to see what Chicago has in store! Moving to the US has always been a dream of mine, and I am thrilled to be working at such a fantastic school.

    I am originally from Milton Keynes in the South of England but studied for my degree at the University of Nottingham. Before joining British International School of Chicago - Lincoln  Park, I taught in Birmingham as part of the Teach First program. I have also lived in France for a number of years. I love to paint and my favorite place to visit in Chicago is the Art Institute. I also love spending time at the lake and exploring all the amazing buildings in the city. My favorite place to take visitors is Lincoln Park Zoo to see the incredible view of the skyline.

    I am from a small village in the south of England and moved to Brighton to go university. After graduating, I traveled around Australia and spent two summers working at a Girl Scout Camp in Massachusetts, which was an incredible experience! I completed my teacher training back where I grew up but then moved to London to teach as I love living in a big city. I love seeing new places, and this year I have spent two months traveling around New Zealand, Fiji, and California. I am so excited to move to Chicago, as the city has a fantastic culture and so much to do. It will also give me the opportunity to travel see as much of the US as I can!
