 I am from England and grew up there before graduating with an MA from Edinburgh University in Scotland.
After completing the Cambridge CELTA in 2000, I started teaching in Prague. Although I come from a family of teachers, it was in the Czech Republic that I decided that teaching is my passion. This was a wonderful experience and seems a long time ago now, which is why I look younger in this photo! I worked in Estonia for 2 years and took the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry FTBE. I enjoyed the course about Teaching Business English and gained a Distinction in the exam. In summer 2003, I moved to Vilnius and am always trying to improve my Lithuanian. I understand the frustrations and joys of language learners! I have worked as an examiner at the British Council for Cambridge FCE, CAE, CPE and Young Learners exams since 2004. I am now Team Leader for Lithuania and train other examiners. I also enjoy proofreading and editing, as well as voice recording work. Vilnius is my home now, although of course I go home to see my family and friends. I sometimes miss pork pie or fish and chips by the sea!
