As Director of International Education and Enterprise at Barnard Castle School and a member of the Senior Leadership Team, I lead the development of international education strategies, global partnerships, and commercial enterprise initiatives. Previously, I spent almost a decade at Whitgift School in senior leadership roles including Director of Projects, Director of International Education, and International Summer School Course Director. With teaching experience in the UK and overseas since 2009, I transitioned into education after a successful career in business management. My qualifications include a Cambridge DELTA, PGCE, and MA in Educational Leadership (UCL).
