This is my 14th year working with Network of International Christian Schools. I served for six years at Bandung Alliance Intercultural School in Bandung, Indonesia as the English Language Development Coordinator. In 2018, I moved to Brasilia International School, where I served as the Secondary Principal for a year and a half. In January 2020, I moved to ICSU, once again serving as English Language Development Coordinator. During my time with NICS I've had the opportunity to teach all grade levels and several subjects including Earth science, Bible, and English Language Arts. I've also had the privilege of coaching soccer and cross country, leading numerous student trips, and serving as the student government association advisor. I am excited to serve in the role of Head of School at ICSU this year and hope to use my unique experiences to serve God and our school community.

Greetings in Christ!

I am truly blessed to serve as the Business Manager at ICSU this year. I joined this wonderful community in February 2020, and it has been a privilege to grow and serve alongside staff, students, and families that value excellence, service, and the love of God. With three years of experience as an Assistant Business Manager, I see my current role not just as managing the financial and operational aspects of the school, but as a calling to support God’s mission here by stewarding the resources wisely and faithfully. I look forward to continuing to serve this community!
