More About Me

I am Curriculum Leader at Collège Alpin Beau Soleil, Switzerland. Raised in the Pyrenees and educated at la Sorbonne, I am a creative and language Arts specialist. A synesthete with Grapheme-color and Ordinal linguistic personification, I have a penchant for French Realism Literature and American Abstract Expressionism. I have always been passionate about stretching my students and peers through creative and inquisitive pathways, particularly enjoying the breadth of possibilities cross-curricular projects offer. Over the years, I have hadthe chance to present research on Reflection and the Implementation of the SDGs as part of KS3 as well as leading workshops on plurilingualism at conferences such as ‘Practical Pedagogies’. I have also closely worked on High Potential linguists for over 15 years with agencies and communities such as Gifted and Talented London, Eton and Libellule in Lausanne.
