About Me
An energetic and enthusiastic professional educator that problem-solves and collaborates to create a motivating learning environment that promotes independence, inquiry, and life-long learning. Through my experience, I can efficiently create and utilize resources, digital and tangible, to create a holistic education experience that ensures all students achieve success.
A proven leader with a strong passion for education coupled with exceptional knowledge of handling functions to ensure a safe environment conducive to learning and growth. A cross-functional communicator who easily interfaces with high-profile leadership, internal and external technology team, vendors, student/teachers, and family members.
A technology enthusiast with proven ability to work collaboratively and effectively with faculty throughout the school to provide pedagogical and technical consulting to design, develop, and implement authentic and meaningful instructional content, courses, and projects that enrich teaching and learning through the use of technology in online, hybrid and traditional courses, including the integration of student learning outcomes. Possessing a proven ability in ensuring efficient problem solving without losing sight of factors such as budget, timelines, and the school’s mission.
As a Third Culture Kid that attended international schools, I understand the unique advantages of attending an international education. I create learning environments that are student-centered and promotes inquiry. Students feel safe, curious, and apart of a community of learners. I strive to make learning fun, authentic, and hands-on. I believe in differentiated learning and promoting multiple intelligence to help all students reach their full potential.
I believe it is essential for educational leaders to develop a successful and motivated community. We must transfer stakeholders from dependence to independence and then finally interdependence. This synergy requires valuing differences-to respect them, building on strengths, and compensating for weaknesses. I believe the sum is always greater than all of its parts. It is my goal to motivate all individuals to go beyond what they believe is possible each and every day.
Technology Vision
Teaching Philosophy
The Role of Technology in Education
I believe 21st education and technology should support learners becoming independent and collaborative digital citizens that apply their learning authentically and appropriately to improve knowledge, communication, and creativity. Technology is an essential tool and skill for students and teachers. I aim to use technology to foster learning, build digital citizenship, enhance communication, facilitate collaboration, and promote international-mindedness. This is achieved through competent leadership, meaningful role-modeling, and strategic planning with stakeholders.
