My husband Chris and I are originally from Vancouver, Canada but moved to London from New York 13 years ago and are now settled in Esher, having become British citizens along the way. We have two children, Abigail graduated in June 2017 and is now at university and our son Malcolm is in grade 12, having started at ACS Cobham in grade 6.
My family and I have joined ACS Cobham in 2015. My 2 eldest children graduated in 2018 & 2020 and are off to university. My youngest daughter is in grade 11. I am originally Jordanian/Palestinian. Making Cobham my 7th home and move, I have always enjoyed volunteering and working at International schools. As a parent and previously an educator, I am looking forward to giving back and sharing my experience.
We moved to the UK after 7 years in Switzerland and our children started ACS in the Fall of 2016. This is our second time living in the UK having spent time in New York as well. We have four children at the school this year, a daughter in grade 9 and sons in grade 7, grade 5 and Early Childhood. I am half Swedish and half Korean and grew up as an expat child and attended international schools during my school years, including ACS Cobham.
Together with my family I moved to the UK and joined ACS Cobham in August 2016, after living in Luxembourg and years before in France. We originally come from Italy, where we lived the most of our time as a family while always traveling internationally for business and pleasure and becoming passionate about international environments. We have two daughters, Elisa, who will start grade 11, and Giulia, grade 6 this school year. I am also Italy CRG co-representative.
My family and I joined ACS Cobham in August 2018 from a very English preparatory school. My son is now in grade 9 and my daughter in grade 8. I work full-time from home for a Jersey fund management company.
Keith and I came to ACS Cobham in January 2016 when our oldest son Toby joined grade 2 from a private British school. Toby is in grade 7 and our youngest son, Josh, will join Kindergarten this year. Keith and I work full-time in Information Technology and live in Guildford. Keith is English and I was born in Malaysia but of Chinese parentage and came to the UK when I was 8 years old having lived in Spain for most of my junior school life. I have also lived in Holland, France, and the US for work.
