I was born and raised in the Mother city Cape Town, in the Western Cape of South-Africa. I am passionate about working with children and families and have 20 years of experience. I studied at the University of the Western Cape where I obtained my Bachelor Degree in Social Work and worked in the filed of Child Protection. I obtained my Masters Degree in Child and Family Studies. My thesis was based on Children's knowledge of and access to their basic rights. I ventured on in Clinical Social Work where I worked in the substance abuse field with recovering addicts, families and adolescents, before I commenced in a school environment as a school counselor at Herschel Girls School in Claremont for the past 8 years. When I am not working with little people, I am a proud wife and aunt, as family connection is important to me. I enjoy experiencing new restaurants with friends, a good cup of coffee, and getaways in the Overberg to recharge from the busyness of life. I am thrilled to begin my new journey as a Lower School Counselor at AISCT!

Greetings! I am Dana Hall, your Upper School Counselor. I'm excited to be part of the AISCT community! I'm an Atlanta, GA-US native & educator with over 20 years of experience in US and international schools.
I have served international students in Kuwait as well as Thailand. My experience spans from teaching, recruitment, leadership, and K-12 counseling. My specialty includes dual enrollment advisement & a holistic approach to counseling. I have a BS in Physics, M.Ed in School Counseling and also Secondary Math & Science along with an Ed.S in Educational Leadership. I transitioned to education from the corporate world and it has been an "Eureka" moment ever since.
I'm a proud mom & empty nester who enjoys recentering through wellness practices and new experiences. I am new to Cape Town!
I look forward to supporting your student throughout their AISCT journey.
This is my second year at AISCT and I'm looking forward to a wonderful year. I'm from Japan but grew up as a "Third Culture Kid" in Indonesia and the Philippines attending international schools, so it's wonderful to be back in the international school environment!

I have a BA in Visual Journalism from Biola University and an MA in School Counseling from Chapman University. For 6 and a half years, I worked as a school counselor in California, mostly at a high school. Prior to becoming a counselor, I taught English for a few years in Japan and worked in a college readiness program for students from underprivileged backgrounds in California.

I love helping students realize their potential and encouraging growth in real-world skills so they can contribute meaningfully to their local and global community.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing the Japanese taiko drums and traveling. Please say hi when you see me in the hallway!
