Summary

I am a warm, friendly, hard-working teacher with a passion for sports and a firm belief that every child should have a holistic schooling experience—balancing academics, culture, and sports. Dedicated to creating structured activities that enhance student well-being, I focus on fostering growth through engaging events, trips, and tours, while maintaining open communication with parents. Building a strong school community requires faith, proper support structures for students and teachers, and collaborating with the school leadership team to make the best decisions for the students and the school.
