My work bridges policy implementation, program operations, and technology governance across public and civic institutions, spanning two decades in government, education, and organizational strategy.
At New York City Public Schools, I served as Director of Product on the Knowledge Sharing Team, leading the design, build, and governance of WeTeachNYC, a custom-built platform serving 76,000 educators across 1,600 schools citywide through four chancellor transitions. Earlier at NYCPS, I supported the high-stakes implementation of the district's teacher evaluation system, coordinating field deployment of 30 coaches through 2,400 school visits in four months at a 97% completion rate.
As a Director at Opportunity Labs, I managed a national portfolio of initiatives spanning K-12 AI governance, school-based mental health budgeting, and large-scale workforce development programs.
My approach to systems change is grounded in cultural anthropology and organizational design. I have a Master of Public Administration from NYU Wagner and a BA from Bryn Mawr College. I am a proud New York City public school parent and live in Brooklyn. I spend my happiest hours wandering Prospect Park searching for owls and riding the subway adventuring across the city with my two vivacious sons.
