I hail from Surrey, where I attended a state school and discovered my love of science and (in particular) biology. My interest in the field of evolution led me to pursue an undergraduate degree at the University of Exeter in 2014. Catalysed by a further discovery of my passion for language acquisition and obsession with the learning process whilst living in Sweden on my year abroad, I resolved to live and teach in another country whilst picking up a local language in the process.

My drive took me to Japan, where I spent 2.5 years teaching English as a Foreign Language and intensely studied language acquisition and learning processes whilst being (pleasantly!) swamped in the surrounding culture. With Japanese under my belt and some unforgettable experiences to go with it, I recently returned to the U.K., where I am excited to continue my career in education and make a real difference to the lives of our students.
