I started my career as a business development executive in telecommunications in India. But it was not until 2009 that I decided to follow my passion for teaching and education. To do so, I moved to Colombia with my family. I started as an ESL and Maths teacher in Pereira. Later, while working as a high school principal in a school in the same city, I discovered my strong connection with students of these ages and my ability to encourage them to enjoy the learning process and help them reach their goals. Later, in 2018, I moved to Colegio Los Nogales in Bogotá as the Middle Schoo principal, strengthening, with this experience, my knowledge in relation to academic excellence.

I strongly believe in “Character Education” that empowers through attitudes, beliefs and behaviours and, at the same time, stimulates students to become positive leaders of our society, being able to make autonomous decisions, without losing their way and maintaining moral and ethical character. Our world needs leaders who are able to demonstrate not only excellence in knowledge but also the ability to use it to impact the socio-economic, environmental and cultural well-being of their surroundings through values such as respect, responsibility, equity, solidarity, trustworthiness and civility.
