Education Institutions and EdTech

 

A Mission Close to My Heart

Helping every learner succeed has always been close to my heart.

Over the past nine years, I’ve supported schools and education companies in the US through marketing and communication strategies that bring clarity, engagement, and growth. Today, I bring that same energy and commitment to the UAE, working alongside school leaders, operators, and EdTech companies to help them grow their impact.

From increasing enrollment to aligning communications with performance improvement goals, my focus is on helping education providers build trust, stand out, and grow with purpose.

My Background in Education

Before moving to Dubai, I led marketing for two US-based organizations focused on improving K–12 education.

At Branching Minds, I helped scale a SaaS platform that supports schools in implementing MTSS. I built a demand generation engine that grew revenue by 450% and contributed to a successful private equity acquisition.

At Education Elements, I worked with school leaders and superintendents to improve how they communicate change and build community buy-in. I’ve written extensively about personalized learning, education transformation, and marketing in the education space. You can read some of that work here.

Now based in the UAE, I apply that experience in a new context, working with private school groups and education businesses who are navigating a unique set of challenges.

What UAE Schools Need—and How I Support Them


In the UAE, schools operate in a competitive, regulated environment where tuition increases are closely tied to inspection outcomes and performance standards set by the Ministry of Education and local regulators.

At the same time, schools are working hard to:

  1. list icon
    Attract and retain students in a crowded and overwhelmingly diverse market
  2. list icon
    Communicate effectively and clearly with multicultural families and staff
  3. list icon
    Build a strong online presence to support enrollment
  4. list icon
    Align internal efforts with inspection frameworks and school improvement plans

     

These pressures require more than just a communications team. They require a strategy that connects your school's identity, goals, and outcomes. That’s where I come in.

How I Support Schools and Education Companies

For Schools and School Groups:

  1. list icon
    Define and communicate what makes your school unique

  4. list icon

Why This Matters to Me

Education is the industry I love most. I'm not a classroom teacher, but I’ve dedicated my career to supporting the people who are, whether through GTM strategy, marketing, or communications. As a parent myself, I care deeply about what schools stand for and how they show up for their communities.

I believe strong marketing and communication can help schools grow, improve, and build trust. I believe in listening closely, acting with integrity, and always putting students at the center.

If you’re working to make education better, I’d love to help.
