SFS People

I spent my collegiate years at Tufts University outside Boston, earning a BA in Drama and English, and taught at the university’s preschool in my senior year. Afterwards, I spent a year teaching at the Bank Street School in NYC before returning to Tufts for a dual master’s degree in Child Development and Education. After a decade back East, I returned to SF and was thrilled to find the San Francisco School community. This is a place that mirrors my deeply held beliefs about social justice, diversity, and a foundation in the arts as part of any great education. 

Outside of school, I’ve spent 15 years as a professional improv comedy performer, teacher, and director. I bring much of that training into classroom life, and have found that improv helps children (and adults!) to become better, more empathetic communicators, more flexible thinkers, and more resilient in all areas of life. I also love spending time with my husband Paul and toddler Leo, reading, and traveling.
