Working closely with students is the most rewarding part of my day. I am passionate about supporting their growth, helping them navigate challenges, and partnering with families and staff to ensure every child feels valued, confident, and successful. My goal is to help create a nurturing environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
I am an enrollment leader who cares deeply about helping families find the right fit for their children. With a background in mental health counseling and youth resilience coaching, I bring a whole-child perspective to my work. I have spent my career in independent schools across the Puget Sound region, building strong relationships with families and developing thoughtful, mission-aligned enrollment practices. I love being part of a school community where every student is truly known, supported, and encouraged to thrive.
Meet the exceptional team at Bellevue Children’s Academy, dedicated to knowing your child deeply, sparking their curiosity, and growing their confidence every single day.
