We’re thrilled to introduce Ben, our new Dean of Studies for FieldPartner English. A proper Third Culture Kid, Ben’s experience and skillset makes him the perfect fit for this new role, so before he started officially, we managed to sit down and get to know him a little more. Growing up as a missionary kid had a range of challenges, not least when he returned ‘home’ to the UK and found he didn’t really fit in. Ever since, Ben has held a range of educational and missional posts, and we’re delighted to have him on board with us at FieldPartner!
Introducing Ben Gilbert!
