Head of Math
As the daughter of two teachers, I knew from an early age that teaching was the career I wished to pursue, and throughout my school life I always had a passion for Mathematics. The enthusiasm of students at British International School of Chicago and their passion for learning, as well as the motivation and dedication of our staff make our school an exciting place to teach.

Math Specialist | IGCSE Coordinator
One of the great things about British International School of Chicago is that our class sizes are small and the teaching staff all work together closely, so it feels like being part of a family where everyone pitches in.
Math Specialist
I have always enjoyed travelling and experiencing new cultures, and I saw the Mathematics job at British International School of Chicago as a great opportunity to join a Secondary School in its infancy and help shape its future. I joined BISC in 2007 as a Math teacher and now hold the position of Head of Secondary.
Math Specialist | Head of Year 10
I graduated from Bristol University with a degree in mathematics and went on to complete my PGCE a year after. I then went on to teach in a girls’ grammar school in London where I took on the roles of Deputy Head of Maths as well as Head of Year 7, and in 2016 received a Kent Teacher of the Year Award after being nominated by my students. I also had the opportunity to lead a group of students on an expedition to Borneo where we visited the orangutan sanctuary, camped in the jungle, and spent some time in an impoverished village to renovate their facilities.
Before becoming a teacher, I completed a joint honors degree in Mathematics and Physics from University College London. I dabbled working in the UK film industry and in BBC radio before setting my heart on teaching. I completed the Teach First program placing top graduates in some of the most challenging public schools in the UK.
