Relevant Experience
Having taught in both the United Kingdom and most recently at Harrow International School in the rural mountains of Japan, Rachel joined Dulwich College (Singapore) in August 2023 as a Mathematics teacher. Rachel’s journey into teaching was inspired by a deep desire to make a positive impact on others’ lives. Despite qualifying with a degree in Law, she embarked on the Teach First Leadership Development programme which paved the way into teaching, and commenced her fulfilling career in education.
Beyond professional pursuits, Rachel is a highly passionate athlete who enjoys embracing the physical challenges of endurance sport. From road running to triathlon, with 15 years of experience competing at national levels in the United Kingdom, she thoroughly enjoys the fulfillment that an active lifestyle brings, training for races which embody the spirit of perseverance and determination.
When Rachel isn’t out running, riding, or in the pool, she finds solace in more serene activities such as baking, reading, drinking good coffee, relaxing in cafes, and exploring the world through travel.
