Favorite Sports Team

I really love following the women and men’s professional tennis tours.

What drew you to education?

My parents both spent their careers teaching in public schools. So I grew up seeing firsthand the enormous impact passionate, effective teachers can have.

Why are you passionate about working at Ed Trust?

Our work at Ed Trust–NY allows me to work every day to eliminate the systemic barriers that deny students equitable opportunities to be successful.
