Assistant Administrator
I’m Mrs. Lidalyn Salde. My journey as an educator has been shaped by the vibrant cultures of the Philippines and Thailand. Having grown up in the Philippines, I carry with me the rich tapestry of experiences from a country known for its warmth, diversity, and strong sense of community.
My educational roots trace back to the Philippines, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with a major in General Science. This laid the foundation for my career, and I embarked on a mission to impart knowledge and inspiration to young minds.
My transition from the Philippines to Thailand has not only shaped my professional identity but has also fueled my determination to bridge cultures through education. I look forward to the continued adventure of teaching, inspiring, and contributing to the growth of students at TIA.

Teacher/Staff (ELA & History)
“A Journey of a Thousand Miles begins with a Single Step.” – Lao Tzu
I always believe that education is a never-ending voyage. It is a right, not a privilege. And it takes one’s courage and commitment to dream and make it happen.
Madayaw! I am Teacher Markee Narreto and I came all the way from the Southern part of the Philippines — Mindanao. I graduated with a degree of Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication and took up Bachelor of Secondary Education in English. I am a journalist and educator by profession. For fifteen years, I have been teaching in many colleges and universities in my home country while working in a broadcast network at the same time.
For six years, I have had the chance to work with the Department of Education, teaching Senior High School learners specializing in Literary Arts, Media Communication, and Theatrical Production.
My penchant for teaching has made me so engrossed and feel invested with my craft. It is what keeps my motor rolling and expand my horizon to inspire more learners overseas.
I am an actor, writer, filmmaker, and mover.
I am looking forward to having you in my class as we engage, explore and experience ELA and Social Studies together!
Harinawa!
Teacher/Staff
As an educator, my top priority is the best way to communicate the new concepts your student will learn. I was born in Nogales, Sonora Mexico and immigrated to the United States when I was 7. I am very proud of being Mexican and equally proud of living in this great country. Teaching is something I have always wanted to do, for me it is not only a profession but a passion. I have taught for 20 years, 10 of which I taught Kindergarten in Euless, Texas. When I moved to Tucson, I found a dynamic school Tucson International Academy, which not only had high academic standards but a rich sense of community. Academically, I started at Northern Arizona University but completed my degree online. I taught Kindergarten for 10 years at Metroplex Academy, from 1997 – 2007. When I learned that my youngest son had autism in 2009, I moved to Tucson, Arizona. I taught at Tucson International Academy West for 11 years, teaching Kindergarten and 1st Grade. Thank you for entrusting me with your students.
