Summary

Grounded in the belief of a growth mindset, I advocate for the idea that cognition and competencies can be nurtured through dedication and hard work. My approach to data-driven decision-making is methodical and strategic, ensuring that valuable insights derived from data are seamlessly translated into meaningful actions.


I have successfully conceptualised and implemented transformative co-curricular programs, collaborated with communities in service-learning and outreach initiatives, and provided personalised support through mentorship and wellbeing programs. Collaborating with educators, parents, and other essential stakeholders, my goal is to construct a united support network that empowers adolescents to thrive.
