I relish the challenge of transforming the school digitally through the infusion of digital/emerging technologies in our school's curriculum. I'm really pumped up for this as I am very interested in digital and upcoming technologies and it's very meaningful to prepare the next generation for the digital disruptions that are yet to come.

I enjoy teaching and endeavour to improve my student’s learning experience in class through the use of real-life examples, humour and ​ technology.​

It brings me great satisfaction to see students experiencing the joy of learning and wanting to continue to learn more on their own.​ Check out my LinkedIn page ​here.
