Hello! I joined Parkmont in 2024, and I’m very happy to be here! Born and raised in D.C., I graduated from Edmund Burke School, a small, progressive school with strong ties to Parkmont. My interest in independent schools deepened when my kids attended Christian Family Montessori School, and I witnessed as a parent the transformative effects of a positive, student-centered approach in a small-school environment.
Here at Parkmont, the interactions among staff and students inspire me daily, and I love seeing the kids lean into their curiosity. Before coming to Parkmont, I spent most of my career in journalism, with roles at Legal Times, National Geographic Magazine, and Fresh Air. I live with my spouse, Joe, our two teenagers, my parents, and a small, toothless dog named Gus. Most of our free time is spent on the sidelines of the kids’ activities, but on the weekends you might find me working at American Plant, hiking, or reading mystery novels.
