Graduating from Loughborough University in 2004 I spent a few years teaching in Nottingham whilst playing volleyball and coaching the East Midlands girls’ team.
The decision to move to Dubai was, in all honesty, not entirely planned. I visited a teaching friend in Abu Dhabi and fell in love with the country, lifestyle and prospect of teaching in the heat! With Maths and PE jobs available at DBSEH, my husband and I headed to the Sandpit and are thrilled we made this choice.
DBSEH really is a close community and I feel fortunate my daughters are in a school where young people of all nationalities and backgrounds are valued and differences celebrated. As the Assistant Headteacher with responsibility for care and wellbeing, I work alongside the pastoral team to ensure our students are happy, responsible learners. My role also includes being the Head of Sixth Form and teaching Psychology and PE.
In my free time I love to be outdoors, travelling and exploring new places. I enjoy a range of sports and just spending time with my family.
