Elisa joined BIS HCMC in August 2025 as a Teacher of French, bringing with her a deep passion for languages and culture, along with a strong interest in exploring Southeast Asian traditions and heritage. Originally from Lille, France, she holds a Master’s degree in Linguistics and completed her teacher training at UCL’s Institute of Education. After spending a year in London, Elisa moved to Hertfordshire, where she taught in a boarding school for five years—an experience that deepened her understanding of the importance of pastoral care.

In addition to France and the UK, Elisa has lived in Greece and Spain. Her move to Vietnam reflects her eagerness to immerse herself in a new culture and explore fresh perspectives. In her free time, she enjoys travelling, cooking, reading, watching films, and engaging in creative activities. Elisa also values physical and mental wellbeing, maintaining a balanced lifestyle through regular exercise and mindfulness.
