G*****h

I am an education manager and educational psychologist with over twenty years of experience designing and delivering high quality academic programmes and premium family facing education services across the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Gulf. I work at the intersection of academic strategy, student wellbeing, and operational excellence, combining deep knowledge of British, IB, and US pathways with disciplined programme management. I have built my career in two parallel tracks, often running at the same time: advising high trust families through competitive school and university journeys, while also leading education and mental health systems inside mission driven organisations working in complex environments.

In my advisory work, I serve as the single point of accountability for UHNW and HNW families, guiding students from Year 9 through to university entry. I design multi year roadmaps that integrate curriculum and subject choices, enrichment, summer programmes and internships, and admissions preparation. I have extensive experience supporting applications to Oxbridge and the Russell Group, as well as highly selective US universities, and I am known for matching ambition to realism through careful academic positioning and fit analysis. I also bring strong relationships with leading day schools and boarding schools, and I work effectively with school leadership and counsellors because I understand institutional expectations and decision making.

As a programme leader, I have led education, child development, and mental health work across OMID Foundation and Shamsa Children’s Village, building systems that integrate learning outcomes with psychosocial support. At OMID, I have designed curricula and delivery models across multiple streams, including English programmes delivered through a structured LMS, resilience and skills based curricula grounded in CBT and related approaches, and health education curricula including a comprehensive community midwife training programme. I have managed stakeholder relationships across a wide spectrum, from international institutions to local partners, and I am experienced in translating strategy into measurable delivery through monitoring and evaluation frameworks, dashboards, quality assurance processes, and clear reporting.

At Shamsa, I led education and mental health provision within a children’s village model and helped build a school that extended beyond resident children, becoming a trusted educational option for the wider community. I developed high school curricula, introduced project and topic based learning approaches, strengthened teacher capacity, and built partnerships including with Oxford University programmes. Across both settings, my work has centred on building durable systems, not one off initiatives: training teams, embedding routines, improving quality over time, and protecting the dignity and potential of learners in challenging contexts.

My approach is high trust and highly structured. I am trained in CBT and DBT informed methods and I specialise in executive functioning support, meaning the practical systems that enable students to perform: planning, prioritising, time management, revision architecture, task initiation, and accountability. I am a confident communicator with families and institutions, discreet and NDA ready, and comfortable coordinating multiple stakeholders across time zones with precision. I am also a parent of three children, which gives me an additional lens on the realities of family decision making and the importance of clarity, responsiveness, and consistency.

I am looking for a role where I can bring this combination of academic depth, premium service delivery, and operational leadership to an organisation that values quality, ownership, and outcomes.
