As an educator deeply rooted in RISD, I have had the privilege of serving in various roles that have shaped my dedication to fostering student growth and success. My journey began in the classroom, which amplified my passion for education. Through my time as a classroom teacher and later as a campus math specialist, I gained invaluable insights into effective teaching methods and the importance of personalized learning experiences for each student. I also served as an assistant principal in RISD before being named principal at Yale. These roles allowed me to implement innovative strategies that prioritize student achievement, foster a positive learning environment, and cultivate a culture of continuous growth among both students and staff.

Being a parent to three boys attending RISD schools has provided me with a unique perspective, reinforcing my belief that every student has the potential for success and growth. I am committed to creating inclusive educational environments that nurture individual strengths, encourage curiosity, and instill a lifelong love of learning. I firmly believe in the inherent abilities of all students and am dedicated to creating opportunities that empower them to reach their full potential. Together, let us continue paving the way for a future where every student thrives and achieves success.
