I was born and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Bachelor of Education specializing in primary years and inquiry-based learning. This is my 5th year teaching at The International School of Macao. I’ve had the opportunity to teach a variety of grades at TIS, as well as, coach U12/U14 soccer for the past 3 years. This year, I am teaching 4th grade and I am humbled to be taking on a leadership role in promoting STEAM. I am excited to collaborate with other educators to learn more about how to effectively create and foster a maker-centered classroom.

I enjoy going on hikes, being outdoors, zumba dancing, scuba diving, and cooking. I love pugs!

Hello! I’m an International Educator who has had the privilege to teach in England, Brazil, and China. My BAH is in Theatre/Drama, and my B.Ed is for teaching in the Primary-Junior Stream. This is my first year here at TIS.

I strive to encourage my students to investigate subject material, and to make connections that extend beyond the walls of the classroom. I love to incorporate technology into my lessons, and to create an environment where not only the teacher educates the students, but where students can also gain knowledge from a variety of sources, and deliberate with each other over new ideas.
