Partner Administrative Searches Head of School Recruitment Consultant Independent Schools
Jan 2020 — Present
Throughout my 35+ year professional career, I’ve helped organizations navigate a rapidly changing landscape across a spectrum of very different schools: boarding, urban, suburban, day, coed and single-sex. Two decades of my work have also involved identifying, recruiting and transitioning new employees.My varied leadership roles give me insight into the nuances of institutional organizations, and what sets them apart from their competition. Whether those challenges are enrollment, financial, reputational or governmental, I understand the current issues facing independent schools. As a Partner at Educational Directions, these credentials are invaluable as I work closely with school trustees to guide them in their leadership searches, organizational development and governance. Our independent school clients range from the very small to the very large and include boarding and day schools; coed and single sex; elementary, secondary and PK–12; rural, suburban and urban; secular and religious; college preparatory and special purpose; national and international.Together with other partners at the firm, I work tirelessly to assist independent schools around the globe in identifying, recruiting vetting and transitioning new Directions is a nationally recognized consulting firm for independent schools and an acknowledged leader in executive search.
