Chiang Mai International School:  Head of School
Thailand

19-Feb-26

I am deeply honored and excited to have been appointed as the next Head of School at Chiang Mai International School (CMIS) in Thailand. From my interactions with the school, I have seen a strong sense of community and belonging. As an educator and a parent, I believe a school is most successful when it functions as a “family of families.” My family and I are thrilled to begin this next chapter in such a vibrant city, and we look forward to becoming active, contributing members of both the school and the wider Chiang Mai community.

I am eager to work alongside the talented CMIS faculty and staff to support student learning, well-being, and holistic growth. We are profoundly grateful for the opportunity to join such a welcoming environment, and I extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has encouraged and supported me throughout this journey. I look forward to meeting our students and families soon as we embark on this exciting new chapter together.
