I started my career as a concert pianist and moved into Education to follow my vision of creating schools around the globe and empowering children.
I completed my Master’s degree in International and Comparative Education at Oxford University, an MPhil in Education at Cambridge University, and my doctoral degree at the Institute of Education at the University of London.
Through my consulting firm, Creative Minds, I advised and led non-profit organizations, educational institutions, children’s media, museums, and multilateral institutions.
Between 2003-2009, I had the privilege of interviewing over 1,200 children In over 31 countries about their perceptions of media and school. The outcome of her research resulted in the launch of Kiddify, which I founded in 2012. Kiddify became an ed-tech platform designed for children to share their skills and ideas with each other around the world. It was used by schools globally as a part of a global education curriculum.
As a lecturer, I am currently an adjunct lecturer at Harvard University HGSE and a of Project Zero, where I am focusing on culturally relevant pedagogy as it relates to literature, creativity and planetary stewardship.
