Nursery and Primary PE Achieve Xiamen International School China
During my time at Achieve Xiamen International School, as an Early Years and Elementary PE Teacher and an EAL/ESL Elementary Teacher, I contributed greatly to my students’ holistic development. I used innovative and personalized teaching strategies to build a vibrant, welcoming classroom environment where all kids grow physically and academically.

Implementation of PYP PE:
In my work, I implemented a complete physical education programme following the PYP. The programme focused on bodily training and developing fundamental social skills to train students to work together. My PYP philosophy also made my teaching interactive and practical, nourishing the participants’ responsibility and sense of community.

Innovative EAL/ESL Techniques:
As an Elementary EAL/ESL teacher, I used cutting-edge strategies to equip my students with the language they needed to flourish at school and beyond. I created cross-curricular lessons that combined language and movement, consolidating vocabulary and communicative abilities while students played sports and moved.

Multimedia Lesson Plans:
A core part of my method was developing multimedia lessons to help students learn English with interactive and tech-based activities. I used educational technology – language apps and video games—to push my students through an English-language proficiency increase of 20 percent. This multidisciplinary approach added to their language, pleasure, and learning.

Individualized Teaching and Assessment:
Knowing that each student learns differently, I adapted my teaching to the learners’ differences. I used the assessment data to formulate customised learning plans for specialised language and growth. This personalisation made students more engaged and empowered.

Ongoing Assessment and Adaptation:
My teaching approach was student development. I used constant formative tests to measure comprehension and modify teaching. This meditative practice allowed me to provide specialized academic and physical help depending on each child's needs.
Lastly, my most influential experience at Achieve Xiamen International School is that the PE program successfully applied for a PYP-based PE program. EAL/ESL methods are advanced, and I was dedicated to personalized instruction and evaluation. Such success improved my students’ education and improved my school community. I still loved teaching students a love of movement and language so that they became good listeners and engaged learners.

Children’s Preschool and Primary Concordia Shanghai International School China.
As part of my powerful time at Concordia, I taught Early Years and Elementary Physical Education for a year, where I made my commitment to creating an integrated learning experience for young children clear. I was later asked to design and build a new Early Years Music and Movement project to fill the gap for richer programming.

Program Development and Implementation:
I had planned to start early by writing objectives and goals based on best practices in early childhood education. I mapped out an entire five-year course, including unit and lesson plans, so the curriculum was cohesive and progressive. Working hand-in-hand with my Principal (also new to the job), my Director of Teaching and Learning, and my colleagues, we created a powerful, inspirational program focused on our children’s development.

Teaching and Refining:
I developed and taught the Early Years Music and Movement programme, regularly reshaping the content based on students' and peers' feedback. I was there for six years and witnessed firsthand how movement and music could affect a child’s physical, emotional, and social growth.

Research and Publications:
In addition to creating programmes, I advocated for research on music and movement in early education. I conducted that research and published two articles on good practices, sharing them with teachers outside Concordia, which have significantly contributed to the education community.
During my job at Concordia, I developed and nurtured a nurturing programme that motivated the students and set the school as a model for early childhood education. I have defined my success in terms of creativity, collaboration, and engagement with students and the wider educational community. I have laid the foundations for future teaching and programmatic endeavours.

Director of Boarding Seymour College Adelaide.
My leadership and management style as Director of Boarding was ‘hands-on’ and constituted a presence in the boarding house. I am very good with people and communication and was available to all the boarding house community: the boarders, parents, the Principal, the right members of the Leadership Team, Heads of House/Faculty, tutors/classroom teachers, and boarding house staff. I ended up being charged with all the operations and welfare of the staff and the 110 girls in the boarding house.

International Student Officer Scotch College Adelaide.
I was instrumental in designing the International Program and ensuring that all students who attended the program left with rich and quality experiences from their families, schools, and community. I was the Pastor to international students in the School Community and at Scotch Boarding House. I was the go-to person for foreign students, parents, homestay providers, and Scotch employees. I managed the proper visas and government documents. I also taught year 11 and 12 ESL.

Head of Instruction Middle School Trinity College Gawler.
Under the Principal’s supervision, I supported, accountable, coached, and managed a faculty and support staff in the Middle School (Years 6-8) to maintain excellence in teaching and learning (including innovation) and student and staff wellbeing. I had the role of helping to build the college’s strategy through new projects for the whole school and reporting on outcomes. It was also my job to collect, analyse, and publish results for the NAPLAN (Australia-wide testing). It’s Trinity College, Australia’s largest school, with over 3000 students.

Head of PE and Health (whole school) and Stables International School Moshi Tanzania
I had to teach Personal Development, Health, and Physical Education to all levels of Grades 5 – IB2 (Year 12). I managed multi-disciplinary teams to produce excellent student learning and led the continued improvement of a large school sporting program. My work involved partnering with the leadership team to lead, shepherd, and manage entire school improvement initiatives and initiatives focused on school and faculty priorities. I had proven that I could structure and implement differentiated, high-quality, all-school learning programmes aligned with and engaging all students. And I’d also had the stables: 10 horses and a full-time riding school. I was the employee-elected delegate on the school leadership team.
