Leaving Main Street is clearly bittersweet for me. For the past six years at Main Street School, and the five years prior, at Irvington Middle School, I have worked to be a strong instructional leader. I have a passion for leading the important work around curriculum, instruction and assessment that is necessary in all school districts. I believe in a K-12 system of learning to support the growth of all children, and therefore feel very fortunate to take this seat in our school district.
