For our kids,
for our community
We belong to each other
I am passionate and committed to making sure our schools are a place where all our kids are treated with the equity, innovation and optimism that Nyack schools promise. We owe this to our kids, our community and our democracy. We have a great start with our Equity Plan and we need to follow that up with concrete and measurable actions.
My community involvement
I have attended most of the public school board meetings in the last 6 years and have published my notes from them for the community. I have been an active parent for the 12 years my kids have been in Nyack schools - including our after school programming, PTA leadership, IDEA (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Advocacy) work to racial justice organizing. Attending monthly conversations about racial and gender justice have been critical to evolving my perspective.
My professional experience
Transformational change has been the focus of my professional career. In my work with business software, I have managed capital projects, large budgets and led diverse teams redesigning the foundational systems of our country’s biggest companies.
Asking the right questions
In my community work and professional life, it is the questions I ask when I enter a room that make me most qualified for this job. I’m asking: Who is not here? Why?
And, how can we do better?
