About me
I have been teaching since 2004 and Pangbourne is my third school. I started here in 2014 after moving out of London with my family. Initially, I focused more on teaching Business (my undergraduate degree is a BSc in Management Sciences and French from Southampton), but after doing a Masters in Chinese Economics, Language and International Relations at Sheffield, I have generally focused more on Economics. I have held a number of roles in my time here and I am currently studying towards a Masters in Educational Leadership.
Why do I love teaching?
Economics has always been a useful subject to study, but the extent to which it has affected everyday life in recent years has made an awareness of the fundamentals incredibly important. I like the fact that it is a social science and incorporates both the elements of logic and process from the sciences as well as the debate and judgement of the arts.
My other roles at Pangbourne are...
- Development of the academic staff
- Sixth Form Tutor
- Teacher of Economics and Business
I would describe Pangbourne as...
First and foremost, I think Pangbourne is a strong community. Even though I do not live on site, there is still a feeling that you are part of something where people matter.
