Community & Service
I believe that strong schools are deeply connected to the communities they serve. My work beyond the school setting reflects my commitment to building meaningful relationships, creating inclusive opportunities, and supporting children and families in ways that extend beyond the classroom.
Service & Leadership
PTA & SEPTA
Leadership
I have served as an active leader within PTA and SEPTA organizations, helping to design and facilitate events that bring families, educators, and students together. My work in these roles has focused on strengthening communication, increasing family engagement, and building a sense of community within schools. I value the role that families play as partners in education and strive to create opportunities for meaningful collaboration.
Youth Coaching & Mentorship
As a longtime youth hockey coach, I have worked closely with young athletes to develop not only their skills, but also their confidence, teamwork, and resilience. Coaching has reinforced my belief in the importance of mentorship, relationship-building, and creating environments where children feel supported and motivated to grow.
Youth Musical Theater Leadership
I have served as a director and leader of youth musical theater programs, creating inclusive opportunities for students to engage in performance, collaboration, and creative expression. Through this work, I have supported students in developing confidence, communication skills, and a sense of belonging, while working collaboratively with staff and families to bring productions to life.
This experience reflects my belief in the importance of the arts as a powerful vehicle for student engagement, connection, and personal growth.
These experiences continue to shape my leadership, reinforcing the importance of visibility, connection, and a deep commitment to the communities I serve.
