As the Founding Principal of a leading South Mumbai school, she guided teachers and students through the affiliation process and is now committed to creating centres of academic excellence in her journey ahead as Co-Founder of KA. She is also on the board of the 'Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) of Bombay Teachers’ Training College, Mumbai and Vice President of the Early Childhood Association (ECA). A compassionate, ‘life-long learner’, her passion for teaching English coupled with her love for all things literary, will one day enable her to author her own book.
