My journey with NAE began in 2013 when I first joined The British School of Beijing (BSB), Sanlitun, as an IMPS violin teacher. Instantly captivated by the school’s vibrant programme, outstanding reputation, and profound impact on students and the wider community, I transitioned into a fulltime role as a Music Teacher and Choir Conductor a year later.
When NAE launched its groundbreaking collaboration with The Juilliard School in 2015, I eagerly immersed myself in this innovative programme, which uniquely integrates Music, Dance, and Drama into the curriculum. My dedication and leadership in performing arts were recognised in 2021 when I was appointed Head of Performing Arts at BSB Sanlitun. In October 2022, I was honoured with an award and certificate of excellence by the Regional Managing Director of Nord Anglia International Schools in China, celebrating my long-standing service, commitment, and contributions to the school community.
I have a MA in Music Pedagogy (Dip. In Music Education) from the University of Arts in Belgrade. I also successfully completed full-time B.Ed studies in Theory of Music at the same university. My first steps in overseas, international teaching career started in October 2006, in Sydney, Australia.
