👤 About me

With over 20 years of teaching experience, I have had the privilege of guiding young learners at Giving Tree International School for the past nine years. I am deeply passionate about fostering the holistic growth of children, in line with the International Baccalaureate (IB) philosophy of nurturing inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring individuals who are prepared to thrive in a global community. Teaching Early Years is where my heart truly lies. .

💡 Teaching Philosophy

I strive to create a safe, stimulating, and inclusive environment where children feel confident to explore, question, and discover

Beyond the classroom

My teaching approach combines play-based learning with engaging hands-on experiences, designed to cultivate curiosity, creativity, and a genuine love for learning. Beyond the classroom, I enjoy tending to plants and playing the guitar, interests I often weave into our lessons to inspire creativity, self-expression, and a deeper connection to the world around us. I look forward to building strong partnerships with families and working together to make this school year a meaningful, enriching, and joyful learning journey for every child.
