What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles where I can drive data-driven school improvement, mentor staff, implement inclusive curriculum, and partner with communities to improve learner outcomes.

I am a dynamic school principal and instructional leader with over 17 years of teaching experience and 7 years in educational leadership, including roles as Senior Teacher, Deputy Principal, Head Teacher, and School Principal. I specialize in school administration, curriculum leadership across 8.4.4, CBC, IGCSE, MYP, BNC and IB frameworks, teacher mentorship, and whole-school digital integration, with documented improvements in academic performance and student welfare.

My leadership record includes raising KCPE Kiswahili mean scores, implementing digital assessments with 90%+ participation, founding high-performing co-curricular teams, and supervising boarding students with full routine compliance. I am pursuing a Master’s in Comparative Education and International Studies and hold diplomas and certificates in education leadership, guidance, and professional development, committed to transformative, community-focused school improvement.
