Rochelle grew up in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England and completed an Early Years Primary Education with QTS degree at Northumbria University. She taught in the UK for four years in Reception and most recently, five years in Nursery class at Brighton College Abu Dhabi. Here she developed her leadership skills of being Leader of Nursery and FS2.

Rochelle is dedicated and enthusiastic about the Early Years. She truly believes it is her duty as a teacher to provide stimulating environments and engaging learning, to lead children to become critical, inquisitive, and independent learners. In Rochelle’s classroom, children are inspired by their learning, to want to seek the answers to their own questions and be confident to do so.”

Outside of the classroom, Rochelle enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She is married to husband Erdal who is originally from Turkey.
