About Michael
Having grown up on three continents, it was almost a natural choice for me to pursue a career that honored multicultural experiences. Thus, I built my career around the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) primarily studying and teaching English A literature, Language and Literature, and Theory of Knowledge (TOK). My passion for lifelong learning motivated my growth in the DP programme where I took on roles of increasing responsibility, roles that not only made me an “ambassador” of IBDP but also laid foundations for rich networking. To guide my students to excellence, I pride myself on the mastery of interpreting and applying IB Assessment Rubrics.
