I have covered almost every role in a charter network - from first grade teacher to CEO. My expertise spans startup, expansion, and turnaround.

As co-founder and Chief of Staff of ReGeneration Schools, I led all non-instructional work, built the central office, and stewarded organizational strategy. During my tenure, ReGen became Illinois' top charter network in reading, ranking in the top 4% nationally (2023, Stanford CREDO).

I also stewarded ReGeneration's growth. I wrote applications and gained acceptance to Charter School Growth Fund and Charter Network Accelerator. My writing raised $10.2 million in foundation, state, and federal grants to facilitate ReGeneration's expansion to Cincinnati, and I successfully authored the charter application for ReGeneration's first Cincinnati turnaround school.

My charter management experience began in Chicago, where I supported the turnaround of three struggling Chicago International Charter Schools (CICS): CICS Avalon, CICS Basil, and CICS Washington Park. Within three years, these schools raised student achievement from the bottom 17% of Illinois to the top 39%. By 2019, all three schools ranked in the U.S. News top 10 charter elementary schools in Illinois.

I developed my passion for urban education helping to found Uncommon Schools' Rochester Prep. I have taught with Citizen Schools in Boston, MA, and developed math assessments for Achievement Network. I hold a B.A. from Williams College, an Ed.M. from Harvard Graduate School of Education, and an M.A. in Educational Leadership from the Broad Center.
