At UCSI International School, I steered Primary Division instructional operations and curriculum alignment while continuing to teach. I mentored and observed faculty, and established assessment benchmarks to track learner growth.

At EtonHouse International School (Broadrick), I facilitated 10 PYP Exhibitions, seven independently, guiding student teams through self-directed inquiries, research, community action, and presentations. I also developed inquiry-based approaches to literacy and mathematics.

As PYP Coordinator at The English School, Bogotá, I helped structure the transdisciplinary Programme of Inquiry and guided the primary division through IB Pre-Authorization. Across my international school work, I’ve focused on concept-driven learning, student agency, and inclusive teaching for culturally and linguistically diverse learners.
