Kayleigh grew up in a small town near Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape of South Africa.
Kayleigh holds a Bachelor’s degree in Further Education and Training where she majored in Biology and Mathematical Literacy. She is bilingual speaking both English and Afrikaans. She has an innate affinity for languages and is currently developing her proficiency in Arabic as she continues her journey in Qatar.
Kayleigh has started her teaching career in South Africa before she relocated to Qatar in 2017. Her wealth of experience developed over six years of teaching has seen her facilitate different subject areas including Sciences, Environmental Management, and Mathematics. Kayleigh would describe herself as someone that can adapt easily to most environments as she enjoys interacting with people, building relationships with her students, and finding new ways to adapt her teaching strategies to facilitate her learners.
Kayleigh has had the opportunity to serve as a Head of Year for two years consecutively. This has taught her that no challenge is too big and that no sailor learned how to sail in calm seas. However, it was a privilege to see the success of her students and hopes that they will remember her words of wisdom.
Kayleigh has a strong passion for netball and enjoys diving, snorkeling, traveling, the occasional painting, and carbohydrates in her own time.
