As I embark on my fourth year at Yangon Academy International School, I am honored to serve as the ECC & Elementary School Principal for the 2026–2027 academic year. Originally from South Africa, I have dedicated my career to education and leadership, with a strong foundation in Mathematics and Science instruction. It is a privilege to support and guide our students, parents, and teachers as we work together to create a positive and enriching learning environment. My educational journey began more than three decades ago, and since 2009 I have held a variety of leadership positions in schools across different educational settings. Prior to joining Yangon Academy, I served as the Academic Quality Controller at SABIS Sun International School in Baku, Azerbaijan, where I began my international leadership experience in 2021. I am deeply passionate about student growth and achievement and strongly believe in building meaningful partnerships between school and home. My approachable leadership style, combined with a positive outlook and sense of humor, has enabled me to develop strong and lasting relationships with students, parents, and colleagues throughout my career. Although educational leadership brings many administrative responsibilities, I remain committed to being actively involved in classrooms and school life. I value opportunities to work closely with teachers and students, supporting high-quality teaching and learning experiences across all grade levels.
