At-Large | Principal, British School of Beijing, Shunyi
“I have over 30 years’ experience as an educator in International Schools in the UK, Dubai, Bahrain, and China. I am a lifelong learner and educator and became the Principal of BSB Shunyi in August 2021. The Chamber has been instrumental in helping me to settle into life in Beijing and to understand the context in which we work. I would love to remain part of the committee next year and to support all that they do to offer networking opportunities, advocacy and knowledge to the British business community. In times of unprecedented challenge, The Chamber has been the voice of British business, promoting opportunities whilst highlighting areas in which support is needed in a balanced way and it would be an honour to continue to be a part of it.”
