Who I Am
With a foundation in the humanities and leadership experience across both Social Studies and Career & Technical Education, I focus on building impactful programs, supporting teacher growth, and designing student-centered pathways that prepare learners for success beyond the classroom.
I currently serve as both a proud CTE Director at Sewanhaka Central High School Districts and as a school board trustee in Carle Place, where I help shape district policy and serve as a believer in real-world learning and instructional equity. This site is also a space for ongoing reflection—I’ll be regularly adding blog posts and writing that explore leadership, instructional design, and the evolving landscape of public education.
Whether I’m supporting a new CTE program, mentoring teachers, or contributing to policy discussions as a trustee, my work is driven by a belief that great schools are built on thoughtful leadership, inclusive instruction, and authentic learning experiences. I’m committed to continuous improvement—both in the systems I help lead and in my own professional growth.
