About
I started my career in classrooms because I believe people can do more than the systems around them allow. Fifteen years later, I'm building products at the intersection of technology and human potential, still chasing the same question: what becomes possible when the right tool meets the right person.
My career spans the classroom, the boardroom, and the frontier of what technology can do. I started as a teacher and school leader, moved into EdTech product leadership, and spent 15+ years building software that moved the needle at scale — from curriculum tools used by millions of students to products that measurably improved outcomes for kids who needed it most.
Today I'm an operator working at the frontier of AI-assisted software development, and a founder building a consumer product close to my heart. The thread connecting all of it: a belief that technology is most powerful when it's designed around real human needs, and a drive to build products that help people do more than they thought possible.
