I’m grateful for the opporutnity to lead the Aim Higher Foundation, working to expand access to quality schools for more children. My journey in education spans two decades, where I’ve had the privilege of working as an educator, in education reform, and as a communications leader. These experiences have allowed me to serve students and families, lead diverse teams, and contribute to innovative solutions for schools, reform initiatives, and a major university.Today, I’m honored to lead a nonprofit dedicated to helping thousands of students access excellent schools. Having been a part of the Aim Higher Foundation's early startup days, I’ve been deeply involved in shaping our vision, executing our strategy, and ensuring our organization’s growth—from setting team priorities and overseeing operations, to leading fundraising efforts and building a sustainable model for long-term impact.I approach this work with a deep commitment to the mission and those we serve. Every child deserves an opportunity to succeed, and I’m grateful to play a role in making that possible for so many children, families, and schools.
