Biography

I am a third-generation native of the Bay Area. After earning my degree and briefly working in environmental research, I realized my passion lay in education and supporting young people. My deep roots in the region give me a nuanced understanding of the local community, its values, and its diversity. This perspective informs my approach in admissions, where I help prospective students and families navigate the process with a sense of familiarity and connection. My lifelong experience working with children in the Bay Area enables me to relate authentically to students and their families, fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment.
