Jeannie joined BIS HCMC in August 2025. Vietnamese by heritage, she was born and raised in Calgary, Canada, and has been teaching overseas since 2010. Her international teaching journey began in London and has since taken her to Dubai, Shanghai, Ho Chi Minh City, Doha, and most recently, Bangkok. She holds a Bachelor of Music and a Bachelor of Education and has received extensive training in a range of music education approaches, including Orff, Kodály, and Feierabend.

Jeannie is excited to join the BIS community and finds joy in playing, singing, dancing, and creating music with children. She is passionate about the language of music and its power to evoke emotion, spark imagination, and foster human connection. Outside the classroom, she looks forward to exploring Saigon’s vibrant arts scene—whether singing in a community choir or attending a performance at the Saigon Opera House.
