"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." ― Nelson Mandela

To play a small role in helping individuals reach their potential is a true privilege. This inspiring quote has guided me throughout a 30-year career in education, as a schoolteacher and in the world of Advancement. My teaching career, primarily in the International School sector in Singapore, gave the me opportunity to work with individual students, seeing first-hand the power diversity has in developing the leaders of tomorrow.

My work in Advancement provides the opportunity to help institutions transform education. I particularly enjoy working in the International Schools environment, embracing the nuances of culture, geography and organisational structure that looks quite different in Asia and beyond.
