With two decades of experience in educational sectors, I am a Senior Educational leader who has worked in the United States, China, South Korea, and Hong Kong at all school levels and in organizations supporting learning for adults. I hold a Doctorate of Education in leadership, a Masters of Arts in education, and a Bachelor of Science.
At my core, I am driven by a deep passion for education and helping people and organizations grow at scale. I have spent considerable time creating engaging, cross-collaborative training programs tailored to specific roles and teams and leading teams in ways that are in alignment with company objectives.
Guided by empathy and respect, my exceptional leadership skills take teams and organizations from vision to implementation.
I have led teams across the globe as Head of Innovation and Professional Learning, Head of School, co-founder of the Catalyst Education Lab, International Society for Technology in Education certified trainer, Apple Distinguished Educator Advisory Board member, and at the UNESCO Teacher Task Force Policy Dialogue Forum.
