Summary
Educational product management and strategy leader with expertise in mathematics education, curriculum and instruction, coaching, and professional learning. Throughout my career, I have worked at the intersection of teaching, learning, and organizational leadership, partnering with educators, district leaders, researchers, and cross-functional teams to design products, services, and learning experiences that strengthen educator practice and improve student outcomes at scale. My leadership has evolved from the classroom to district partnerships to enterprise strategy, always guided by the belief that lasting educational improvement happens when we thoughtfully connect educator expertise, high-quality instructional materials, professional learning, and organizational systems. Today, I lead a $60M professional learning portfolio, translating educator voice, research, analytics, and business priorities into products and services that expand opportunities for educators and students globally. Grounded in scholarship and driven by purpose, I am committed to educators and students realizing their full potential through thoughtful leadership, high-quality products, and stronger educational systems.
