I moved to Hong Kong from the United Kingdom as a young teacher in the 1980’s. Since then my career has taken me to many countries across the globe. I have held senior leadership positions in International Schools in Hong Kong, the Bahamas and most recently, South Korea.
My philosophy of education and of life is exemplified by an open-minded, balanced and caring approach where human relationships and clarity of communication are of the utmost importance.
At the centre of everything is always the learner, student safety and well-being, as we continuously partner together to develop confident, skillful, knowledgeable, compassionate young people who will truly make a difference in the world.
In my leisure time, I enjoy a round of golf, swimming and choral singing.

Originally I am from the United States, however, I grew up here in Singapore! I am an alumnus from ISS International School and this is my first year at ISS as a classroom teacher. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to teach at the school that gave so much to me.
I strongly believe in the value of outdoor and inquiry-based learning. My aim is to create an environment where the children can feel safe, valued and therefore ready to learn. A goal for me is always to instil a love of learning right from the very start. I believe that when children are having fun, the skills they learn will translate to all areas of life. I also believe that when children love to learn, it creates a culture of lifelong learning.
