An alumna of Punahou School in Honolulu, I’m a former independent school English teacher, advisor, dorm parent, and rowing coach.

My work has also been informed by the Klingenstein Summer Institute, Teachers College, Columbia University; Exeter Humanities Institute; training at Lindamood-Bell; various executive function and group dynamics conferences across the nation.

Tangentially, during a stint in the media, I wrote for Apple and NBCUniversal.

My undergrad degree is from New York University, my master’s from Wesleyan University.
