It is a privilege to be part of the GEMS Wellington Academy community. This is my eleventh year leading a GEMS Wellington school and I am immensely proud to be part of the GEMS Wellington Family. As a founding member of GEMS Wellington Academy – Silicon Oasis (WSO) I have had the honour of leading WSO through nine KHDA inspections and two British Schools Overseas inspections rated ‘Outstanding’.

I am an accomplished and ambitious Principal with a simple overarching objective: to maximise all students’ potential and to ensure that every student excels. I pride myself on being an innovative, forward-thinking leader with highly effective communication skills, I aim to empower and motivate all stakeholders in achieving our school’s shared vision.

Our philosophy at GEMS Wellington Academy – Silicon Oasis is to encourage the various talents of all our students.
