What drives me each and every day

Providing an experiential journey for each student.

I began my career as a computer scientist with major corporations. Yet, my love for education, intertwined with my professional background and devotion to my children, propelled me into the realm of educational entrepreneurship. In 2011, I established an educational franchise, quickly elevating it to a top-tier national brand for afterschool programs. By 2019, I expanded its reach to 107 franchises across five countries before moving on.

In 2020, leveraging my expertise in technology and curriculum innovation, I founded UpBrainery Technologies. My aim: to address the gap in exploration of emerging skill-based career routes. My zeal for shaping the Future of Work revolves around equipping students with skills that directly translate into employable assets. Especially with AI's growing prominence, I am fervently committed to forging pathways for students, helping them understand how these evolving skills shape their future prospects.

A sought-after speaker, I frequently addresses topics surrounding use of AI in the educational space, the Future of Work and skill-based careers. She's passionate about guiding schools, students, and parents through the maze of emerging skill pathways.
