About

I help schools grow through smarter marketing, stronger partnerships, and student-first strategies. At SFMS, I oversee business development, international recruitment, digital campaigns, and agency/school partnerships across Asia. My work focuses on creating seamless journeys for students and parents — from first contact to enrolment — while scaling the school’s brand through thoughtful, multilingual outreach and relationship-building. I’m especially interested in cross-border academic collaborations, co-branded programs, and international expansion opportunities in the K-12 and pre-university space. If you’re an education agent, institution, or service provider looking to expand in Singapore or Southeast Asia, I’d love to explore synergies.
