Deirdre Mc Cann

Born and raised in Ireland, I pursued my degree in Forensics at the Institute of Technology in Sligo before completing my teacher training at Roehampton University in the UK. Starting my teaching career in London in 2011, I later moved to the United States, residing briefly in New York and Maryland before settling in Boston. During my time in Boston, I diversified my experience by transitioning into a role in a biotech company and also working at Tufts University. However, after six fulfilling years, I found myself missing the classroom and teaching students, which led me to decide to move to Prague in 2019 to take up a teaching role there. In 2022, I relocated to Abu Dhabi, where I taught at a private school for two years, before seizing the opportunity to join Safa British School in Dubai. Having heard such wonderful things about Safa, I am eagerly looking forward to meeting the students, staff, and parents and becoming a part of this vibrant community.
