About Me
italki teacher since Sep 24, 2018InterestsTravelBusiness & FinanceSports & FitnessTechMusic
After graduating in Economics in the UK, I worked in finance in London for firms such as Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan and Bank of America, until moving to China in early 2017. There I studied Chinese in sunny Kunming, Yunnan before moving back to the UK five and a half years later in late 2022. I love China, and learning Mandarin has been one of the most rewarding things I've done. I love eating delicious food, and keeping fit by running, cycling and hiking. I also really enjoy travelling and have already been to many places in China.
