I am London and began my career at Harris Academy Westminster teaching Physics as a result of my completion of a Theoretical Physics degree at the University of York. Upon the completion of a Masters in Education from the University of Cambridge, I 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. Additionally, I was 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.

I recently 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.
