Executive Leadership team

My name is Nikki and I’m the Head of Admissions for the Dubai British Schools Group, I have been with the group since January 2022, having previously lived in Singapore for 9 years where I was the Head of Admissions for Dulwich College (Singapore). I have two daughters, aged 4 and 3, and understand how important it is finding the perfect school for your children. I am on hand to help you as you start this journey to Dubai British School Jumeira and can’t wait to meet you and your children.​

I am the Admissions Manager at Dubai British School Jumeira, where I lead the admissions process and support families in joining our growing school community. My role focuses on guiding parents and students through every step of the journey — from enquiry to enrolment — while ensuring each family feels welcomed, supported, and confident in their decision to join DBS Jumeira.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Teaching Mandarin and a Master’s degree in Law with a specialization in International Relations, both earned in China. This academic foundation, combined with my professional experience in education, allows me to connect with families from diverse cultural backgrounds and approach admissions with both precision and empathy.

Fluent in English, Russian, and Mandarin, I work closely with our Principal, academic leaders, and the wider community to ensure our admissions practices reflect the values of inclusivity, excellence, and care that define DBS Jumeira.

Hi, I’m Nicola, the Admissions Assistant here at DBS Jumeria. I’m originally from Scotland and moved to the UAE with my family in 2024. I’m also a proud parent of two children who attend the school, which gives me a personal perspective on the admissions process and the school community.

Before joining the education sector, I spent 18 years working in the UK insurance market. While it was a rewarding career, I decided to make a change and pursue a role that aligned more closely with my passion for working with people and supporting families.

Having recently gone through the experience of relocating and choosing a new school for my own children, I understand how important it is to feel supported during that journey. I’m here to help make the admissions process as smooth and welcoming as possible, whether you’re moving from abroad or simply exploring new options.

I’m proud to be part of such a warm and inclusive community, and I look forward to helping your family feel at home here too.

My name is Nour, a dedicated parent for 11 years and an experienced professional within the educational sector for more than 6 years in reputable and elite educational organizations in Dubai. In addition to my professional background, I bring with me the ability to communicate fluently in Arabic, bridging the gap for families seeking a bilingual experience at DBS Jumeira. Hard work, perseverance, and innovation are values that have shaped my approach to life and reflect my upbringing in the progressive melting pot that is the city of Dubai. My professional journey in administration and government relations has provided me with opportunities to fine-tune my skills in managing a diverse scope of projects to deliver best-in-class educational services and care.

As a parent, I have firsthand understanding of the importance of choosing the right school and environment for your child’s education, as well as the challenges parents might face in ensuring a complete legal registration. I am delighted to offer my support and provide parents and students with the guidance needed every step of the way.
