I began my career at Harris Academy Westminster in London teaching Physics as a result of my completion of a theoretical physics degree (BSc) at the University of York.
I then obtained a Masters in Education (MEd) from the University of Cambridge, and taught both Physics and Mathematics at Harrow School, London. Following that, I ran the Mathematics Department at a Dulwich College in China. During my time there, I also coached a competitive and leading Mathematics team that won a number of international school Mathematics competitions across Asia.
I was later the Director of Studies, particularly responsible for an International Baccalaureate® (IB) 5 year review, Council of British International School (COBIS) accreditation, and academic development at a British international school in Astana, Kazakhstan.
As a result, I joined The British School Brasilia (BSB) in 2021 to develop the Secondary phase. I led the IB authorisation at BSB and have also completed a Doctorate in the Mental Health of Children and Young People from the University of Durham.
