Growing up on a ranch in the small town of Woodruff, Utah, I learned from an early age the value of doing more with less, building community by lending a neighbor a helping hand, and the importance of a positive learning environment in igniting a lifelong passion for exploration, ingenuity, and discovery.

I’m thrilled to have the chance to build that kind of environment at Friends School, and excited to strike the perfect balance of fun and function at each campus!

Having spent the last seven years in San Francisco shaping a vibrant workspace for data scientists, software engineers, and all-around techie types, I’m so glad to return to Colorado where I can help create a nest that encourages young learners to hatch bright ideas, while living peacefully nestled at the foot of the Rocky Mountains.

I’ve recently taken up running, and can’t wait to take in Boulder’s natural beauty and fresh air alike. I’m also keen on photography, design, making music, getting crafty, puns, science, and philosophy, and I’m looking forward to connecting with kindred spirits!
