My name is Melanie Sanchez, and I am a dedicated educator with a profound passion for learning and leadership. Currently, I’m on a sabbatical year to spend quality time with my family, contribute to meaningful service as a turor and mentor, and expand my expertise in Edtech, focusing on AI and Instructional Design. I have served as an MYP/DP Language and Literature teacher and a Theory of Knowledge (TOK) teacher in prestigious international schools, including International School Manila, United Nations International School – Hanoi, and the American International School of Kuwait. These diverse educational environments have shaped my approach to teaching, fostering an open-minded, inquiry-based methodology that empowers students to think critically and engage deeply with the material.
