I co-coordinate TEDxLagunaBlancaSchool and find endless inspiration in my students. Born and raised in the Southeast, I fell in love with California while attending Stanford. There I earned my B.A. and M.A. while captaining the NCAA volleyball team. I started my career in CA public schools, then moved to Germany to design curriculum at Berlin’s UNESCO School. Currently, I serves as the Director of Teaching and Learning at Laguna. A doctoral candidate at Vanderbilt, I am a geek about lifelong learning and organizational transformation.

The belief that schools can be aspirational communities of character, courage, connection, and creativity.

In 2016, I attended my first TEDWomen, and my world changed for the better. Since then, I've co-coordinated three TEDxYouth events at our school (TEDxLagunaBlancaSchool 2018, 2019, and 2020). We have our fourth TEDx event coming up on February 2nd, 2022, and our students are thrilled to have TEDx on the horizon again.
