Educational Leadership Grounded in Service, Stewardship, and Systems Thinking
Strengthening academic systems, supporting educator growth, and advancing institutional capacity through service, stewardship, and thoughtful leadership.
I lead, steward, develop, and improve educational systems so schools can thrive through clarity, trust, and thoughtful collaboration.
With over thirty years of experience across independent schools, public education, and national education organizations, my work focuses on strengthening academic programs, supporting educator growth, and sustaining institutional health. I currently serve as Director of AP Art and Design: Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment at the College Board, where I provide academic and systems leadership for a global program supporting thousands of educators and students.
My leadership is grounded in service and stewardship, informed by systems thinking, and shaped by a belief that lasting improvement depends on clear expectations, strong relationships, and disciplined execution.
