Team Lead, The International School of Macao
AuDHD teacher and leader. Currently working as the Grade 6 Team Lead at The International School of Macao. Teaching full-time for 7 years in Macao in both the international and local education systems.
We live, and perpetuate, a world of neurotypical standards. Being a part of the minority of working Autistic adults, I constantly fight this battle. However, my AuDHD (Autism & ADHD) is what makes me a strong leader and teacher. Although it comes with it's own set of challenges and boundaries. My voice is loud in my direct relationships to give space for neurodivergence within my classroom and team, however, administration still looks at teacher well-being on a neurotypical scale. It’s time to make some noise and disrupt the space where leaders come to learn by taking the time to understand my story.
