Born in Zambia, Alex has been teaching for 12 years, first in her native United Kingdom and later in Hong Kong. Outside the classroom, Alex coordinates the Hong Kong Model United Nations, sings in choirs, and enjoys hiking, swimming, scuba diving and reading. She has travelled extensively in Africa and has a passion for African history. She is excited about discussing perspectives on events, personalities and themes with ALA students. About history, Alex says “I’ve been excited by the past since I was a child, and having a job that pays me for reading, writing and arguing about my passion is fantastic!” She has a History degree from the University of Wales in Swansea.
