Joining the supportive GIS community is a delight. My journey in education stems from a deep love for children and a strong belief in the power of early learning. I am committed to creating a warm and welcoming classroom where every child feels safe to explore, question, and learn. Being a mother of three further fuels my passion for building strong relationships with students and their families, working together to ensure a positive and impactful start to their GIS experience. I believe in nurturing each child's individual growth – physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially – within a stimulating environment.

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.
