Education
I was born in the UK and lived there for 17 years. In 2007, I moved to Australia with my family as my father transferred from the British Army to the Australian Army. After finishing my degree in 2015, I decided to follow my lifelong dream and move to Paris. I have always wanted further my French language skills and to pursue my love of teaching. As a professional, I pride myself on being creative and engaging. I am teacher who is passionate about student-centered learning, and keeping up with this fast paced world of technology. Coming from an international background myself, I welcome a diverse curriculum that is inlcusive to all students and celebrate and thrive in a classroom that can provide a sharing and accepting of cultural experience. I am a strong leader who is willing to take on the daily challenges of teaching, and the rewards that come from persistance and hard work.
