Head of School

Originally from Manchester, England, I first moved to Hong Kong in 1997.On my return to Hong Kong in 2009 after stays in The Netherlands and Dubai, I realised that there was a gap in the market for inclusive education and this is where HKILA began. I could not have imagined at the time that it would have grown as quickly as it has!

When I am not at HKILA, I like to get out on the trails around DB with my family and our 2 dogs, usually ending up at one of the many fabulous beaches we have here in Hong Kong

Specialist Teaching Assistant

Originally from the UK I began a career in Public Relations, upon graduating from the University of Sheffield. After becoming a mum to three children I became fascinated by child development and left the corporate world to embark on a career in education.

I joined the HKILA family in 2015 and developed the Hands Up! and Speak Up! Intervention programme to help students with their motor skills, sensory processing, communication and social skill; and the Story Detectives programme.

Education Assistant

I moved to Hong Kong from the UK in the late 1990s and settled in Discovery Bay. After raising 2 children in the wonderful DB community I left my career in Retail management and started working at HKILA in 2017.

I find it very rewarding and love spending time in the classroom and watching the children learn and grow in confidence every day.

Tell us a little bit about your family to get started.
