Bio

After graduating from college, where I majored in history and played soccer, I spent several years in San Francisco. Though I considered following my father’s footsteps into law, I quickly realized I was more suited to teaching and coaching, and I began taking education classes at the University of San Francisco while working and coaching at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco. After getting my master’s in Secondary Education, I moved back to Boston and began working at Beaver in 2004.

During my time at Beaver, I spent 6 years as the Dean of Faculty and have taught a wide variety of US history courses for the past 12 years. I have also coached in many different programs at Beaver and advised the Mock Trial and Model UN clubs.

Most recently, I transitioned into the Athletic department. In the past, I have spent time as a head boys varsity basketball coach and head college basketball coach, and I currently serve as the girl’s varsity soccer head coach.  

I have worn many hats while here at Beaver, but no matter my role, I love the freedom students and teachers have in the classroom, the emphasis on technology and real-world learning, and the way we prepare kids for the world outside of Beaver.
