“I spent my childhood in Jakarta and Tangerang, Indonesia. I have been teaching as Civics, Bahasa Indonesia, and Social Studies since 2004. I have my bachelor and master degree in Civics and Social Science of Education. I got my teaching certification (Akta-IV) from State University of Jakarta.
I am a dog and animal lover and really concern with the animal rights (domestic and wild animal). This is my first year teaching in NJIS, I have met incredible, amazing, tremendous students and colleagues here. I have got more new knowledge, joyfulness, and happiness from them. This is the biggest honor for me becoming a part of NJIS family. In NJIS I am teaching Bahasa Indonesia, Indonesian Studies, and Religion. My hobby is cooking and would love to take some cooking course someday. My favorite quote is “don’t worry, be happy, and keep smiling.”, be notorious, seek those who fan your flames.”
