Thuy Bui – PYP Support Teacher, Pre-K
t.bui@istexas.org

Pre-K Support Teacher, Thuy Bui, was born in Vietnam and grew up in Australia. She also lived in England before settling in the U.S.A. – visiting 23 other countries along the way! (with Hawaii being her “happy place” as it’s where she got married).

Although Ms. Bui has been an educator for eight years, her career initially took her down quite a different path before she finally landed at IST. A graduate of the University of Australia, Ms. Bui’s love of art and fashion eventually led to a job as lead stylist for the television talent show, Australian Idol. She even styled supermodel, Naomi Campbell, and was named Stylist to the Stars by NW Magazine in Australia!

Ms. Bui’s 6th grade teacher was a strong influence in her life, encouraging her to take pride in expressing herself creatively and fostering her love of art. “I learned from him how important it is to have a teacher believe in you and encourage you to do and be your best. He always raised his words, not his voice – for it is rain that grows flowers, not thunder!”

Ms. Bui has taken those wise words and brought them to life in the classroom and says that seeing the rapid growth in her students as they apply what they’ve learned to their daily lives is what inspires her each and every day.
