Since the age of 7, it has always been my dream to be a teacher. This motivation and life focus began when I had a teacher who showed me kindness, gave me courage and inspired me to have pride in my successes. 

My teaching ethos is simple: well being. By creating a safe, stable and supportive learning environment students are able to openly make mistakes, reflect and identify how they can move forward. I believe this to be true both socially and academically. I am a personable teacher who cares about students’ welfare, progress and engagement. 

In my career, I have been lucky enough to work in three Outstanding/ Gold standard schools in Rayong, Thailand, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and now Bucharest, Romania. These schools enriched my teaching of inquiry based learning through their well established PYP, IPC and PBL programmes.

Inquiry and project-based learning allows for students to become engaged and enthusiastic in their learning and the processes involved, as it provides students with a platform to showcase their interests with pride. Since my career began in 2012, I have found that project-based learning gives the students agency to become independent, self motivated, life-long learners. 

Every year, I look forward to welcoming the students to school with joy and curiosity about what we will discover together during our classes.
