Head's Welcome

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Badminton School Korea.

I am delighted to join Badminton School Korea as your new Principal and to be part of this vibrant, growing community. While still a young school, Badminton Korea is already building on the proud legacy of Badminton School UK, combining academic excellence with a commitment to nurturing the whole child. 

My career in education began in university administration at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art and New York University in New York City. I later pursued my passion for K–12 education as a teacher with the New York City Department of Education, and for the past two decades I have served in leadership roles in international schools across Colombia, Côte d’Ivoire, and South Korea. These experiences have reinforced my belief that education is about more than facts — it’s about nurturing wonder, a sense of interconnectedness, and the responsibility each student holds to learn, grow, and contribute. Learning thrives not only individually but through collaboration, creativity, and curiosity, helping students see the bigger picture of the world around them. 

At Badminton School Korea, my focus is on three priorities: 

● Academic Excellence – providing a challenging, rigorous UK- curriculum. 

● Student Wellbeing and Growth – supporting every child to feel valued, confident, and able to discover their own path to success. 

● Global Citizenship – helping students engage thoughtfully and compassionately with the wider world. 

I look forward to working with students, families, and staff to continue building a school community that is ambitious, caring, and inspiring. Together, we can ensure that every student thrives and feels proud to be a Badmintonian.
