PRIMARY TEACHER GRADE 4
MOTTO:

“Live life to the fullest, for the future is scarce.” – Nick Carter

I was born and raised in South Africa in a small town called Hilton and had the priviledge of attending one of South Africa’s most iconic boys schools. My career in the education field started 4 years after finishing school when I realised that I had a passion for teaching and the impact we as teachers can have on students lives. Therefore, I went to study my Bachelor of Education through the University of South Africa. I was a sports coordinator in South Afrcia before moving with my wife to teach in Cambodia for two years and then moved to Dubai. I am excited at the opportunity I have been given to work at SISD and I love the integrated learning in the bilingual classes. I love the diversity of students and staff from all parts of the world coming together to create a unique and diverse teaching environment.
