Previously: Teacher and Head of Primary School Global Concerns
UWC South East Asia
I am an educator and advocate for positive change in the world. I have spent the past several years teaching at United World College of Southeast Asia in Singapore, where I held additional leadership roles coordinating elements of the comprehensive service program at the college. I spent my childhood in Singapore and attended UWCSEA as a student. The mission of the United World College movement to educate for peace and a sustainable future is deeply ingrained in who I am and I see this as an integral part of my purpose. I hold a Masters in Educational Leadership, through which I deepened my understanding of theoretical concepts related to learning through service. I have also completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Teaching and a Bachelor of Business. I believe that a global commitment to service is one of the vehicles through which positive shifts can be achieved. I am passionate about supporting children and young people to learn to take informed action, realise their full potential as agents of change, and harness their innate desire to care for and connect with the world around them. In 2018 I founded Orenda Learning - an impact-driven social enterprise that guides young people, educators and the community in best practice service.
