A little about me…
I am in my 10th year of teaching at MBIS
and have taught in Reception, Year 2 and
Year 3 here.
Prior to my time in Cairo I taught in
London until some fabulous holidays in
Egypt, coupled with grey winters in
England convinced me to move here.
I am a keen horse rider, owning my own
horse as well as a cat and a dog too!
