I studied a BSci/BEng at university and went on to work for seven years as a telcommunications engineer and later consultant, and then went on to follow my REAL passion...education. In 2003 I completed a PGCE in the UK and have been teaching ever since! In July 2011 I successfully completed a Master of International Crisis Management, with a focus on Education in Emergencies, and am now on a volunteer assignment in the Philppines to empower parents to actively support their children's education.
