About Me
I am a passionate IB educator, administrator, and curriculum leader with 20 years of experience in education and school leadership.
I have built my career around English Language and Literature, curriculum development, and student-centered learning. I enjoy creating meaningful learning opportunities and improving educational practices across both classroom and program levels.
I have extensive experience in the International Baccalaureate environment, including DP coordination, Extended Essay coordination, subject leadership, and teaching across MYP and DP levels. I have also supported school-wide curriculum implementation and faculty development.
I am especially interested in innovative approaches to teaching and learning, including differentiated instruction, inquiry-based learning, project-based learning, and the thoughtful use of technology and generative AI in education.
I value collaboration, organization, and continuous improvement. I have worked closely with teachers, administrators, and students to strengthen academic programs, align curriculum, and support quality teaching and learning.
I am open to opportunities where I can contribute my experience in curriculum leadership, English education, and IB program management while continuing to grow as an educational leader.
