I believe that authenticity drives excellent practice. As a leader, I value being visible, approachable, and actively involved in the life of the school. I am a hands-on principal who works alongside teachers, values professional dialogue, and believes that meaningful challenge should exist at every level: for students, for staff, and for leaders alike.
Across my career in international education, I have led teaching and learning, curriculum development, and professional learning in a range of contexts. I have worked closely with Harvard Graduate School of Education’s Project Zero, including the Creating Communities of Innovation programme, and have led the development of award-winning pedagogical frameworks that promote deep thinking, coherence, and innovation in classroom practice. I am also a certified Council of International Schools (CIS) School Evaluator, and value the perspective this work brings to school improvement, reflection, and quality assurance.
I am passionate about holistic education and the belief that learning extends well beyond the classroom. I have led educational trips and residential experiences across the Middle East, the United States, and Europe, alongside extensive involvement in co-curricular life including sport, outdoor education, music, and theatre. As Principal of The International School of Ticino, my aim is to cultivate a warm, ambitious learning community where curiosity is valued, challenge is embraced, and every learner is known, supported, and inspired to flourish."
