NEW Faculty & STAFF BIOS

Hi everyone, my name is Nadya Hanna Difandi and I am the new Primary Music Teacher. I am educated in Music Education from Institut Seni Indonesia Yogyakarta. Besides being a music teacher, I am also an orchestra musician. I play the Viola instrument in an orchestra. It is such an honor for me to be a part of Global Jaya School community and I am looking forward to working together, sharing my passion, and make a good contribution to our students and community. Let me end my short bio with quotes from one of the best and most virtuous violinists in the world:

"Never miss an opportunity to teach; when I teach others, I teach myself." Itzhak Perlman

Hello, my name is Deceiria Sinaga, or you can call me Dece. I’m the new Secondary School Counselor at Global Jaya School. I’ve been working with children and teenagers since I graduated from the University of Indonesia and earned my license as a clinical child psychologist. It is my 6th year working in school setting, but I'm a newbie to the IB curriculum. As a fast learner, I believe I will be well-adjusted to the IB system as well. I am so excited to be part of the amazing team here in the school and a part of the Global Jaya community. To help me maintain my mental and physical health, I love to watch movies and documentaries, and also like exercising.

For the ones who don’t know me yet I am Paula Vallejo, born and raised in El Salvador, a beautiful paradise in Central America.

I have been part of the Global Jaya family as a Swimming Coach, Tutor and as a trainee Spanish Teacher.

I left to pursue a career in teaching, which I love, but because of Covid many things had to change, but two of those things turned out to be wonderful changes in my life. Last year I became the mum of a gorgeous baby girl (it's my daughter so I see her as the most beautiful creature) and the second amazing thing is that I was given the opportunity to be back with the GJS family with a very exciting new project as a member of the Community Liaison Team.

I am beyond thrilled because I have been in the marketing business for quite a while and this opportunity is the cherry on top of my career.

Can not wait to catch up and to start this new adventure along with you guys!

Hi everyone, my name is Septiani Puji Rahayu, a new library staff member at Global Jaya School.

I graduated from the Library Science program at Diponegoro University Semarang. It is such an honour for me to join a prestigious school like Global Jaya School. I am looking forward to working together, and building a good relation with students, teachers, and the wider community of Global Jaya School.

See you in the Library!

Hello GJS community, I am Ira Hardani and am so happy to be back. I have missed you since the day I left and now I get the chance to once again be a part of the GJS family. I will be working with Ibu Nina as a Secondary Administrative Assistant. Looking forward to reconnecting with you soon.
