She has taught children in different grade levels from Kindergarten to Grade 6, and has nurtured the development of her students through Special Education, Art and Drama as well.

She also holds a Certificate of International Leadership from Principal Training Centre, UK, besides other academic qualifications.

Angela’s previous role was as the PYP Principal of a well-known international primary school in the East of Singapore. As a school leader, Angela believes in student-centred education, promotes student agency and values community involvement. She is future-focused to ensure opportunities for all learners and believes that all stakeholders play an essential role in education. She is also an advocate for teacher autonomy with support and coaching.
