Making AI practical for education | Deputy Head @BSM Senior School | Leading curriculum and AI development and innovation

Muscat, Masqaţ, Oman

About

I work where innovation meets impact and where AI meets education. The future of education isn’t waiting. We are already building it. As Deputy Head of Senior at British School Muscat, I lead on curriculum, assessment and AI integration at our world-class British international school. My goal is simple: to drive purposeful change that supports better learning for students, colleagues, our community and the education industry. Over the past 18 months, built custom GPT chatbots for colleagues, students and parents, delivered training within teams, established an AI strategy and in collaboration with colleagues developed school wide AI policy. I have spoken at global and regional conferences including GESS Saudi and ISCO 2024, contributed to ISC Research and supported schools like Karachi Grammar on their AI journey. What drives me is a curiosity to make the complex simple, the new purposeful and the future feel possible for students, for colleagues and for communities. Let’s connect if you are exploring the future of education, building with generative AI, or simply curious about what’s next.
