Born in the United Kingdom, Katie completed her undergraduate degree and began a fashion industry career in Nottingham. She moved to rural France, where she shifted careers, went back to university and began her career in international education.

For many years, Katie taught in northern Thailand and became a K - 12 Assistant Principal at a small international school. During this time she completed two further degrees in education: a BEd from Canada and an MEd from Australia. Katie then taught in the Philippines before moving to Dubai American Academy in 2017.

Katie feels privileged to be an educator as it has been her passion from the first time she stepped into a classroom. She is looking forward to taking on the role of IB Coordinator at DAA with great enthusiasm.
