Being a mother of three children gives me the motivation to pursue and deliver high-quality education, which is inquiry-based that builds conceptual understanding. I believe that each child should be treated as an individual and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally and socially.

Being a vice-principal, a teacher and a mother-of-two, guiding and taking good care of GIS students makes me feel happy, satisfied, grateful, and contented. Especially when I see them gradually achieve their goals during their learning journey. As a passioned educator, I will continue to strive for creating an atmosphere where GIS students can develop their full potentials.
