About

For more than 20 years in education, I have experienced the hiring process from both sides of the interview table. I remember going through interviews of my own and wondering why I did not get the job, whether it was my CV or interview, and what I could have done differently. Most of the time, nobody tells you.

Later, as a school leader, I began interviewing candidates myself. Over 13 years, including nine years at Brent International School Manila and now as Superintendent of Escuela Bella Vista in Venezuela, I have interviewed candidates for teaching and leadership positions.

Along the way, I have given candidates feedback, continued conversations after interviews, and stayed connected with people I did not hire. Some later wrote to tell me about opportunities they earned elsewhere and how our conversations had helped them.

Again and again, I met talented educators whose experience and ability were not fully reflected in their CVs, interviews, or the evidence they presented.

My years at Brent made that especially personal. I worked alongside Filipino teachers who were professional, resilient, intelligent, caring, and deeply committed to students. I hired them, mentored them, wrote references for them, and celebrated as many earned opportunities around the world.

I knew what they could do because I had worked beside them every day. Eventually, I realized this challenge was much broader.

BridgeTeach is my way of giving back.

What began with a desire to help teachers like those I worked alongside at Brent has grown into something broader. BridgeTeach is for teachers around the world who want to teach internationally or move to their next international school. It helps them strengthen their CVs, prepare for interviews, and show the evidence of what they can do in the classroom.

We help you communicate what you already know and can do more clearly, while keeping the practice grounded in your own experience and what you can document.

I was once a teacher in Texas considering my first international school offer and my first move abroad. Since then, I have moved between countries and grown from teacher to school leader. If you are weighing an offer, considering a school, or thinking through the move abroad, you are not the first, and I am happy to share what I can.
