Get to know me

I am an accomplished leader focused on creating new opportunities for young people. As a 3rd generation San Franciscan, I dedicated 10 years to the San Francisco Unified School District, providing strategic leadership and designing programs for students in need, as an Educational Policy Analyst, prior to joining CARS.

I excel at navigating complex systems and engaging diverse stakeholders—administrators, teachers, students, and families—in projects that prioritize community input. By fostering difficult conversations and uplifting insights, I help identify pathways for meaningful change.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts from Vassar College and a Master of Arts in Education from San Francisco State University. In 2018, I was a Surge Institute Fellow for their inaugural cohort in Oakland.
