I am an enthusiastic and reflective educator, continually striving to bring my best to school on a daily basis. Currently I am part of the leadership team at the International School Helsingborg, Sweden and studying a Masters of Education specialising in pedagogy and leadership from the University of Newcastle, NSW  Australia. During the 2016-2018 period, school leadership is focused on improving student outcomes by investing in teacher professional development, which is based on strong research and linked to the teaching standards of our school.
