I am currently the Head of Primary at Azerbaijan British College in Baku, Azerbaijan.

My Fellowship topic focused upon mathematics education and looked at how schools in China and Taiwan ensure that no children fall behind with their learning. The purpose was to support the UK's introduction of an approach to mathematics based upon the approach in Shanghai but to focus on children who might fall behind in their studies. I was passionate about this as I had returned from living in China and as a fluent Mandarin speaker I knew the challenges of researching in China and the misconceptions about Chinese education in the UK.

I have worked with schools across London introducing the mastery approach and with maths hubs. I have stayed in contact with the Ministry of Education in Hong Kong and hosted a visit from their science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) team.

The impact on the community has been through supporting organisations that influence mathematics education and working with schools to develop their approach. Personally it gave me the confidence to pursue a career in school leadership as I discovered how much I loved the process of supporting educational change.
