Educator | Innovator | Storyteller

Hey there, thanks for visiting my website!

I'm an educator, innovator and storyteller based in Singapore and I'm on a simple quest: to make learning meaningful and joyful for children.

​

Over the past twenty years, I've designed exciting inter-disciplinary games and created innovative curriculum packages. At a broader level, I've worked with policy makers to craft and implement programmes which promote the innovative use of technology across a broad spectrum of schools.

​

And the quest for more joyful teaching and learning continues every day!
