She founded Thrive Public School, where she is CEO and superintendent, and co-founded Da Vinci Schools and Camino Nuevo Charter Academy, institutions recognized among the most innovative in the nation. She advises schools worldwide on instructional design and implementation. At the University of Cambridge Judge Business School, she coaches global leaders and their teams.

Having been a teacher, principal, and superintendent, I have a particular appreciation for the people who bring an institution’s educational vision to life every day.
Faculty need time to collaborate, room to exercise their judgment, and leaders who understand the work. I value being part of a team that puts those conditions at the center of educational design.
