Joanne Harmon
Director of International, International Office
Mrs Joanne Harmon started at St Paul’s in 2026, joining from a range of roles across secondary education and the travel industry. She brings extensive experience from girls’ schools, including work as a Senior Dean, International Dean, and as part of both teaching and boarding communities, before spending time as a travel agent driven by her interest in people, places, and cultures.
