Head of Year 1, Year 1 teacher
Originally from the Wirral in the UK, I studied Popular Music at Bretton Hall, Leeds University and graduated in 2003. The summer I graduated, I had an amazing opportunity to work in Maine, in an American summer camp. This experience inspired me to pursue a career in teaching. Since then, I have taught in a primary school in Manchester, starting as an NQT and progressing to Middle Leadership, leading PE and The Arts. I was drawn to Houston as it is such an exciting, vibrant city. I decided I wanted a new challenge in my career, a new lifestyle for my family, some sunshine and have not looked back since!

Year 1 Teacher
I began teaching in London where I developed my career as an Early Years and Key Stage 1 teacher. During this time I had the opportunity to be the Literacy and Early Years Leader. In 2014 I moved to Houston and joined The British International School. This was a very exciting move for me as it gave me the opportunity to work both international and within an outstanding teaching and learning setting. It has been a wonderful experience that continues to grow with each new class.
Learning Support Year 1
I spent a very happy 18 years as a learning support assistant, working with children of all ages and a wide variety of needs in a primary school in the UK. On moving to Vietnam I worked with secondary students in the Learning Support Department at The British International School of Ho Chi Minh City. I missed the enthusiasm and energy of the younger children and left to teach art to the primary aged children at the International German School. I also spent a very enjoyable evening a week teaching English booster lessons to Vietnamese children from the neighbourhood that I lived in. I am still in touch with these guys and hope to visit again soon. Texas was our next stop and I feel very lucky to be able to work here at BISH. The children here are so much fun, there is never a dull moment and they continue to surprise me daily.
Learning Support Assistant
I qualified as a teacher with a BEd in 1993, and have worked and volunteered in several different schools, the latest of which is the British International School of Houston. During my time being a Teaching Assistant here, I have pursued various courses such as the PGCE to further my ability to communicate to children and help them learn.
