Academic Leadership

I am the Head of the Primary Section at Trio World Academy, bringing over 16 years of experience in education and leadership. Having graduated in Engineering and subsequently a post-graduate qualification in Education and Operations Management, I bring a unique blend of academic depth, strategic thinking, and operational expertise to leading the dynamic Early and Primary Years Programme.

As an IB-certified educator and IB Programme Leader, I am an active member of the IB Global Educators Network and regularly evaluate IB schools both in India and internationally. I have successfully led PYP evaluation and authorization processes, working closely with teachers, school leaders, and the International Baccalaureate to strengthen inquiry-based, concept-driven teaching and learning practices aligned with IB standards.

At the heart of my leadership is a deep commitment to students. I prioritise strong relationships with learners, ensuring their voices are heard and their individual needs are supported. I work closely with parents and teachers, valuing open communication and partnership as essential to student success. My leadership is grounded in empathy, clarity, and collaboration, with a strong belief that meaningful relationships are central to effective teaching and learning.

I am the Middle School Coordinator at TRIO World Academy, committed to nurturing the academic, social, and emotional growth of every student. I believe that childhood should be happy, inspiring, and full of opportunities for exploration, and I work tirelessly to ensure that Middle School is a place where students grow into confident, empathetic, and resilient individuals.

Before entering education, I gained valuable international experience in the airline industry, where working with diverse teams and engaging with people from different cultures strengthened my communication, empathy, and problem-solving skills. My volunteer teaching experience in the United Kingdom further shaped my approach, instilling a deep commitment to inclusive, student-centred learning that recognises and celebrates each child’s unique strengths.

In my role on the Senior Academic Leadership Team, I lead curriculum development and alignment across Middle School, mentoring teachers and fostering innovative, collaborative, and holistic learning practices. I am dedicated to building meaningful partnerships with students, parents, and colleagues, fostering a supportive and inspiring community that empowers every learner to reach their full potential.

An anthropologist by education, I earned my M.Phil degree from the Madras University, Chennai before being redirected to my true passion as an educator. With extensive experience as a Grade 5 Homeroom Teacher at Trio World Academy (2019–2025), I spearheaded curriculum innovation by co-designing PYP Units of Inquiry, facilitating the PYP Exhibition, initiating literacy and vocabulary enhancement programs and implementing differentiated strategies to meet diverse learner needs.

I credit my foray into leadership to the foundational experience I gained as an IB educator. My working style, both in and out of the classroom, centers on individualism, agency, and cooperation. Today, as a Co-Curricular Coordinator, I drive curriculum alignment, support teacher growth, and champion inquiry-based learning.

My leadership experience includes policy drafting, conducting professional development sessions as a PYP Learning Leader, and coordinating whole-school events. My meticulous approach during IB evaluation periods and as a member of the Apple Innovation Team earned me recognition as a trusted instructional leader.
