Our people

Paola Leyson

Field Research Administrator

Before joining ISC Research, I worked for international schools in Qatar, mainly in admissions and administrative support. I also had experience working for an oil & gas company and an advertising company. I lived in Qatar for 11 years and I’m now back in my home country, the Philippines. I’m glad to be part of ISC as International Schools Research Coordinator.

As a working mom of two kids, I spend my free time bonding with them. My family enjoys watching Marvel movies and personally I like period dramas. We also love dining out and traveling.
