12 years experience as English Teacher and faculty leader

I made the decision to move from Toronto, Canada to England in 2012 as teaching jobs were scarce. I had completed a double major in English and History at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, an exchange programme at Leeds University and my teaching degree at Western University, but it was time to move on and start a new life if I wanted to fulfil my dream of being a teacher. I’ve been a KS4 leader for over 10 years, leading my department to Outstanding in 2023. While English and History are my passions, I have held many other roles such as a senior leadership secondment, Associate Senior Leader, year leader and Life Skills coordinator. My life isn’t all about work, though! I love spending time outdoors with my family, painting and learning Italian!
