Natalie joined BIS in August 2023 as an EAL teacher. She began her ESL teaching journey in the UK in 2013, eventually making her way through Thailand, South Korea, Japan, and Vietnam. After nearly a decade in Asia, she decided to return to the UK to nurture her passion in teaching by completing a PGCE; now she has returned to Vietnam to further pursue this passion and create a home in a place that she loves. Outside of the classroom, Natalie is very active, particularly enjoying bouldering and hiking. She is also a keen reader and is also beginning to explore poetry-writing.
