I’m a senior education and strategy executive who specializes in turning complex systems into clear pathways that expand opportunity for students and communities.
I specialize in bridging the gap between policy and practice. Whether it’s scaling citywide workforce pathways for over a million students or securing $25M+ in funding for equity initiatives, I build the infrastructure that allows leaders to move forward with clarity.

How I Work
Big impact requires a strong vision and a coherent system to make it happen. I support leaders responsible for large-scale systems who are feeling the weight of competing priorities and legacy practices.
Diagnose & Simplify: I cut through the complexity of large organizations to identify what truly moves the needle.
Bridge the Gap: I align K-12, postsecondary, and workforce systems so they actually talk to one another.
Execute at Scale: I’ve scaled initiatives like Computer Science for All across New York City, ensuring that equity isn’t just a talking point, but an operational reality.
Services
-
Helping smart people find the confidence in their choices.
Leadership can be isolating. I serve as a trusted partner for leaders navigating high-stakes environments, helping you quiet the noise, trust your instincts, and lead with a clarity that commands respect.
-
Building for impact, not just for the shelf.
Complexity causes paralysis. I help you create lean, "living" strategic visions with strong infrastructure and long-term sustainability in mind. We use immediate performance insights from real-world applications to refine the next iteration, ensuring your strategy evolves as fast as your challenges do.
-
Strengthening internal capacity for unpredictable times.
I focus on building internal resilience so your team doesn't just survive change—they manage it. We move beyond surface-level collaboration to build the trust required to handle high-pressure, unpredictable situations. I design and implement efficient systems and tools that automate the "noise" and simplify workflows so your people can focus on what they do best: driving student and community outcomes.
-
Bridging the gap between academic learning and the real world.
I design programs that translate theoretical knowledge into practical, high-demand skills. By aligning educational outputs with industry needs, I help you create pathways that move people from the classroom into meaningful, sustainable careers.
