A little about me

Warm, precise, and genuinely curious about people.

I'm a Business Administration graduate (First Class Honors, GPA 3.89) with a WES-evaluated U.S. Bachelor's equivalent. My happy place is the overlap between people and process, advising a student, untangling a schedule, or making sure every record is exactly right.

Across teaching, tutoring, and years of client-facing work in international settings, I've learned to stay calm under a deadline, communicate clearly and kindly, and sweat the small details that make everything else feel effortless.

Off the clock

A few of my favorite things

Because the best colleagues are whole people too.

🎶

Taylor Swift, always

My unofficial soundtrack for lesson-planning, cooking, and everything in between. Ask me about my current favorite era. I have opinions.

🍜

Cooking Thai food

Years in Thailand gave me a deep love for the real thing: pounding curry paste from scratch, chasing that perfect sweet-sour-spicy balance.

My cat, Summer

Chief morale officer, professional lap-warmer, and the most reliable presence during a long day of admin. Ten out of ten, would adopt again.
