This June, I will join International School Services (ISS) as the Director of Research and Development for School Management. My responsibilities will include developing and strengthening ISS’s school startup and management quality assurance through research of best practice. I will also be working on professional learning and strategic initiatives for international educators. I am currently employed at Hong Kong International School where I have served as a Schoolwide Curriculum Leader for the past four years. Previously, I have worked internationally at American Embassy School (AES), New Delhi and the International School of Bangkok (ISB) in Thailand. In my spare time, I continue to build the professional capital of others through professional development. Most recently, I serve as the Director of Innovation at 21st Century Learning International (Hong Kong). Additionally, I am the Executive Director of WLead, an organization that seeks to create opportunities for systemic change by building awareness, belonging, empowerment, networking and equity to school leadership models throughout the world. I am an ISTE certified educator and trainer, and have worked as a Certificate of Educational Technology and Information Literacy (COETAIL) Instructor through SUNY Buffalo, a Google Certified Educator, and an Apple Distinguished Educator (ADE).
