   As a member of the Board of Trustees at Sophia Academy, I help guide the strategic vision and governance of Rhode Island’s only independent all-girls middle school focused on social justice and educational equity. My role centers on advancing the school’s mission to engage girls from low-income families on a joyful quest for self-discovery and opportunity.Drawing on my Simmons University foundation—where I first experienced the transformative power of girl-centered education—I bring a deep commitment to amplifying young voices, fostering leadership, and ensuring every student is seen, supported, and inspired.
