People leadership isn’t about policies—it’s about creating environments where educators, children, and teams thrive. Over the last decade, I’ve helped build and scale Montessori education globally while coaching leaders, stabilizing schools, and shaping the systems that let people do their best work.8+ years at Higher Ground Education, advancing from Program Support to Senior VP of PeoplePartnered with global leadership to stabilize 100+ schools through better hiring, training, and talent practicesLed organizational reset during a critical growth pivot, aligning employees under a clear cultural and operational North StarChampioned leadership development and retention strategies that improved educator and family satisfaction scores across the network.I bring the perspective of someone who’s sat in both seats—school leadership and executive people Management, HR, Talent, Training and Development and Curriculum Design. That means I design systems that are practical, people-centered, rooted in Montessori values and support achieving financial outcomes.At my core, I’m driven by a simple goal: helping people grow into the leaders, educators, and humans our children deserve.
