I am a passionate PYP and MYP trained teacher of 17 years with extensive, hands-on experience
from Pre-K right through to Grade 12. I have been part of a Senior Leadership Team supporting
both Elementary and Secondary School as well as the Administration Department. I advocate for
the use of technology in the classroom as a tool to communicate, collaborate and present and I
endeavour to share this enthusiasm with students, parents and my colleagues. I thoroughly enjoy
communicating and liaising with teachers, students and especially parents and believe this to be
of paramount importance in a leadership role.
