Samarinda, East Kalimantan, Indonesia
I am an international school leader with 28+ years of experience in education, serving in leadership roles across India and Southeast Asia in residential, international, and technology-driven schools. My career journey spans roles as Principal, Head of School, curriculum leader, and education consultant, with a strong focus on school improvement, strategic leadership, and innovative teaching and learning practices. Currently serving as Principal, I lead the academic and operational development of a secondary school offering IGCSE, IB, and national curriculum pathways, with an emphasis on academic excellence, character formation, and future-ready learning. Over the years, I have led initiatives in: • School transformation and culture building • Curriculum leadership across Cambridge, IB, ICSE, and CBSE frameworks • Digital learning and educational innovation • Teacher development and instructional leadership • Building strong partnerships with parents and the wider school community I am proud to be an Apple Distinguished Educator (Class of 2015) and a Google Certified Trainer, and have worked extensively with schools to design and implement digital learning strategies, technology integration, and future-ready curriculum models. Earlier in my career, I served as Digital Studies & Robotics Curriculum Coordinator in Jakarta and Principal of an international school in Bali, experiences that strengthened my commitment to developing globally minded schools that nurture creativity, critical thinking, and character. My professional journey includes 13 years in residential schools and more than a decade in international schools, giving me a deep appreciation for diverse educational environments and student needs. At the heart of my work is a belief in relational learning — connecting knowledge with real-world experiences so that education becomes meaningful, engaging, and transformative for students. I remain passionate about building strong school communities, empowering teachers, and creating learning environments where students thrive academically, socially, and personally. I am open to conversations around international school leadership, Head of School, and Director-level opportunities globally.
