I am a practitioner, a researcher, and an improver; I am a boundary-spanner. 

I’ve been a proud educator since 2004, beginning my career as a high school social science teacher. Early on, I found myself leading from the classroom, collaborating with colleagues to solve shared challenges and facilitating teacher learning. That passion for adult learning led me to roles in federal education policy, a doctorate at Stanford, and work supporting educator development and systems change.

Today, I help educators and organizations use improvement science to tackle persistent challenges. I believe lasting change comes from tapping into the deep expertise of those closest to the work. My mission is to create more equitable, sustainable systems by strengthening collaborative learning, leadership, and problem solving across education.

In order to truly address educational disparities and ensure sustainable change for our most vulnerable students, we must support and strengthen collaborative problem solving and leadership development.
