With a passion for international education, I bring a wealth of educational experience and leadership spanning over a decade. Having held several senior leadership positions in Scotland, including Deputy Headteacher and Acting Headteacher, I then commenced my international career by joining a highly reputable outstanding-rated primary school in Dubai in 2016, where I held a number of senior leadership roles, including responsibilities as Assistant Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher. I currently lead at another outstanding-rated 3-18 school in Dubai with an international reputation for excellence.
I am deeply committed to fostering a nurturing and stimulating learning environment, where each and every child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, through personalised learning and adaptive teaching approaches. By ensuring an over-arching exciting and creative curriculum, that integrates both the UAE priorities and the National Curriculum of England, I am committed to providing children with ‘future ready’ skills, equipping them for life’s challenges ahead.
Understanding the importance of collective efficacy through building a strong community, I am looking forward to working collaboratively with our students, parents and staff at DBS Emirates Hills to build on best international educational practice at our vibrant and thriving school.
