At Questfield
I joined Questfield International College in Summer 2025 as Head of Welfare and Secondary School Counsellor. My aim is to ensure that wellbeing is at the heart of all aspects of school life. To support this, I work closely with students, teachers, families, and external agencies. My role includes delivering lessons and workshops, as well as providing individual counselling sessions. No two days are the same, and that is exactly what I value most.
My approach
I came to Questfield International College because I believe in the 4-pillar approach. Every child’s progress should be valued. I believe children need to play in order to learn, and that rest time is vital in the school day. My students know they can come to see me if they need a break from the hustle and bustle of classroom life.
Beyond the classroom
I’m a bit of a closet musician – I sing and play piano, and I love to get out and about – travelling is my way to reset, and I love the hidden cafe life in Bucharest! I also try to volunteer wherever I live to give back to the community.
