Biography

Prior to arriving at Menlo School, I was fortunate to have a 15-year career in the public school system, serving in various roles including teacher, department head, grant writer, academic accountability officer, coordinator, curriculum assistant principal, principal, and central office administrator. These unforgettable and inspirational experiences, not only serve as my professional foundation-they also shape and inform my mindset and north star as a servant leader. 

Independent Schools have expanded my depth of knowledge and elevated my thinking as a systems leader. Thus, while at Menlo, I continue to embrace new forms of leadership, academic innovation, and educational excellence, which keep me intellectually curious and a co-constructor of continuous learning on our campus. Daily, I am immersed in various transformational activities with some of the most brilliant minds that care profoundly for all students.

I am deeply proud of the work we are doing at Menlo and I’m excited to continue this journey with every member of our community.
