Having conducted school trips throughout Europe and China, I previously served as IBDP coordinator at the Beijing World Youth Academy, and continue to serve as an examiner for the IBO . Named ITC Teacher of the Year on the recommendation of Cambridge University, I have received the Outstanding Teacher Award from the University of Chicago held a workshop at the 2012 ECIS Annual Conference and twice been featured in IB World magazine. I also appeared in the documentary 1914: The Invasion of Belgium and featured in the film Gyantse 1904.

The Palaestra
Like a modern Caesar, Benito Mussolini strides past the Ara Pacis, an “altar of peace” commissioned by the Roman Senate in 13 B.C. to honor Emperor Augustus (27 B.C.-14 A.D.). In 1902, the German scholar Eugen Petersen proposed a reconstruction of the partially excavated monument after studying photos of fragments from a number of European museums. In 1937–1938, Mussolini had the rest of the Ara Pacis excavated; then he had the monument reconstructed following Petersen’s model—all to celebrate the “Romanitá” (Romanness) of the Fascist regime.
