“How can we redesign schools to better meet students where they are as learners across all disciplines?”
This question has been the north star of my work as an educator and leader. It has taken the form of rethinking learning, the cultivation of pedagogy, innovative school redesign, purposeful use of technology, creating learning experiences beyond the classroom walls and building opportunities and partnerships for the benefit of school communities.
As an educator and school leader with a clear vision for future-ready learning I am proud to have successfully fostered future-focused strategies that balance innovation with academic excellence and sustained growth.
I have held Executive and Senior Leadership roles in Vancouver, Dubai, and Tokyo, guiding top-ranked schools through strategic planning, accreditation (CIS/WASC/NEASC), and organizational development. Highlights of my work include achieving Apple Distinguished School recognition, founding TEDxWestVancouverED, leading large-scale school redesigns, and advancing innovative models of teaching and learning that have strengthened school culture and transformed student experiences.
As a student-centered leader, I have championed STEAM integration, inquiry-based pedagogy, outdoor education, and technology adoption, while building educator capacity through collaboration with thought leaders such as Kath Murdoch, Jennifer Abrams, Will Richardson, Lee Crockett and Trevor Mackenzie.
Through my wide range of experiences, I bring a global perspective balancing strategic and operational management with a deep belief in building excellence in student learning and school through connection, capacity building and community.
