The International Educator (TIE) is thrilled to welcome Lianne Dominquez as the newest member of our Editorial Committee. With her extensive experience in international education and a deep commitment to elevating global learning and teaching, Lianne brings valuable perspectives and fresh ideas that will enrich and strengthen the work of our committee.
“I am genuinely excited to join TIE’s editorial committee because I deeply believe in its mission: to amplify diverse voices and reflect the lived realities of international school communities. As someone who advocates for student and educator voice—especially those often overlooked—this role feels like a meaningful extension of that work. I’m particularly looking forward to collaborating with such a thoughtful and passionate group of educators and writers, learning from their perspectives, and contributing to a platform that not only informs but also connects and inspires. There’s something profoundly human about editorial work. It’s not just about editing words, but about shaping stories that matter. I’m grateful to be part of that process.”
Lianne is the Deputy Head of Senior School and Whole School Safeguarding Lead at Haileybury Astana, Kazakhstan, and a Filipino educator and international school leader with 19 years of experience across Asia and Central Asia. Her experience spans leadership and teaching roles in academics, boarding, admissions, university counseling, and start-up school development. She has built school systems from the ground up, pioneered teacher supervision and evaluation models grounded in international teaching standards, and championed student voice and belonging in school culture. Lianne teaches Leadership and Team Dynamics and Instructional Supervision at the Principals Training Center and facilitates the University Counseling course at the Counselors Training Center. She also visits schools for accreditation with the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) and is a former mentor in the Association of International Educators and Leaders of Color (AIELOC) Aspiring Leaders of Color program, training and supporting educators worldwide. A regular contributor to The International Educator, she writes about human-centered leadership, belonging, transitions, and reimagining school communities.
Lianne joins the Editorial Committee at a pivotal time, bringing insight, dedication, and a deep understanding of international education. The committee’s role extends far beyond reviewing submissions; it serves as a catalyst for connection, shaping content that speaks to educators across cultures, contexts, and classrooms. With her experience and thoughtful perspective, Lianne will help us surface new voices, spark meaningful dialogue, and guide the direction of our content to ensure it remains relevant, reflective, and responsive.
Please join us in welcoming Lianne to the TIE family as we continue to empower educators and elevate the global conversation in international education.
