Singapore, Singapore
For over 20 years, I’ve been shaping how English is taught, learned, and loved across Singapore’s education landscape — from the Ministry of Education to the private sector. My career has been devoted to one mission: to make language learning dynamic, data-driven, and deeply human. As an educator, curriculum architect, and mentor, I’ve designed national-level frameworks, led academic teams, and coached hundreds of teachers to elevate both pedagogy and purpose. My work bridges policy and practice, ensuring that curriculum design, teacher capability, and assessment innovation all align to raise student outcomes and national standards. Recognised through multiple national awards, including the Inspiring Teachers of English Award and the MOE Study Award (Auckland, New Zealand), I’ve continually championed excellence not just in teaching, but in how teachers grow. A strong believer in the power of technology and storytelling, I’ve pioneered the integration of ICT in language education, transforming classrooms into interactive learning environments where students don’t just study English; they live it. Colleagues describe me as progressive, empathetic, and results-driven. Someone who brings equal parts heart and strategy to every initiative. Whether it’s guiding policy design, leading curriculum transformation, or mentoring the next generation of teacher-leaders, I’m energised by one goal: to build bold classrooms that prepare students for a changing world. If you're a school leader, EdTech company, or education policymaker looking for a curriculum strategist or keynote speaker, I'd love to talk.
