Of my 35 years working in preK-12 education, I have spent the last 25 years working in the preK-12 international schools sector, including 10 years as a head of school. I am interested in global citizenship, international mindedness, and intercultural relations, including leadership in diverse contexts. As a practitioner, I am also interested in all matters related to preK-12 school management. Over the years I have been a speaker and presenter at numerous international school events and have served as a commissioner of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, a member of the Board of the East Asia Regional Council of Schools (EARCOS), and president of the Asia Pacific Activities Conference.
