I’ve spent my career designing learning experiences that unlock potential—from K-12 & University classrooms in Fiji, Ecuador, Kenya and Canada - to global stages at the United Nations. My passion sits at the intersection of education, policy, and impact. Whether I’m teaching students, advising governments, or building youth-focused learning ecosystems, I’m driven by one question: How can we make learning more meaningful, equitable, and future-ready for all?
