About Me:

I was born and raised in Rochester, NY. My parents were great role models and always emphasized the value of education. I began “playing school” with a small chalkboard even before entering elementary school and was president of the Future Teachers Club in high school.  I have an ongoing interest in leadership, reading, learning and discourse .

My parents, having been raised by immigrant parents, impressed upon me the critical importance of hard work, perseverance and equity. As a result, I had the privilege in much of my adult life of championing the beauty and contributions of the children of the city of Rochester.  The privilege of serving Rochester's children and families occurred over three decades as a teacher, special education administrator, principal and assistant superintendent in the Rochester City School District.

The totality of these experiences prepared me well for the School of Education’s conceptual framework of social justice, diversity, achievement, compassion, knowledge and service.
