Co-Founder & Sustainability and Facilities Advisor

I am a mom of three middle school aged kids, and have homeschooled for a decade after working in the real estate industry for 12 years. 

Trained as an architect and a veteran in managing multi-million dollar, low-carbon construction projects, I offer a unique blend of corporate sustainability expertise and a deeply personalized approach to education. I have worked in public and private partnerships in energy infrastructure, urban planning and higher education. 

For over a decade, I consulted for Fortune 500 companies and public entities across the US and internationally, visualizing and constructing built assets with minimized environmental impact. My expertise lies in navigating the complexities of large-scale, sustainable design and maintenance programs. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Architecture and Master's in Environmental Policy and Management.  

Simultaneously, I have applied this highly strategic thinking to my role as a dedicated educator. I firmly believe a child's education should be holistic, educating the mind, body and spirit. A good education system keeps a child's love of learning by steering education in sync with developmental ages and meeting each child exactly where they are; thus creating bespoke learning environments built for success. 

Co-Founder & Founding Board Recruitment Chair

Raised in Harlem, New York, I grew up with a deep understanding that while the world is vast, strong communities are built through connection, care, and shared responsibility. That belief has guided every chapter of my life. Today, as a parent, homeschooling educator, and education advocate, I am deeply committed to child-centered, whole-person learning and to creating environments where families and communities can truly thrive.

I earned my undergraduate degree before completing a Master’s in Experimental Psychology, where I studied human development, behavior, and research design. That academic foundation led me toward a broader exploration of holistic health and wellness, particularly how physical, emotional, and environmental factors shape a child’s ability to learn and grow. This path took me to Los Angeles, where I received hands-on training in plant-based culinary arts and worked for many years as a private chef and within wellness spas and retreats. Serving individuals and families navigating health challenges gave me a front-row view of the powerful connection between nutrition, wellbeing, and human development.

After becoming a mother, I experienced firsthand how limited traditional educational options can be for families seeking more holistic, flexible, and developmentally responsive learning environments. Homeschooling allowed my family the freedom to explore diverse curricula, including Waldorf-inspired and play-based approaches that support creativity, emotional intelligence, and a lifelong love of learning.

I strongly support the mission of Learning Blueprint School and its commitment to preparing students for both academic success and meaningful participation in the world. My background in psychology, wellness, and family-centered education, along with my ability to identify and connect local resources, positions me to contribute thoughtfully and strategically as a board member.

I am committed to helping build a school community where Houston families feel supported, children are seen as whole people, and education is rooted in both excellence and care. We are shaping the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and innovators, and I am honored to be part of that work.

Co-Founder & Learning Environments Design Advisor

Growing up, school served as the beating heart of my community—where friendships blossomed and memories were made. But as a young person, I got good grades by jumping through hoops; I craved more authentic and meaningful learning. I am inspired to create a school that prioritizes access to quality education.

I set out to earn a B.Ed in Art Education. I wanted to revolutionize education. I believed that students should be empowered to take charge of their own learning. My focus was on creativity and self-directed learning.

In my 25+ years as a professional educator, I've worked to help learners uncover their identities and learning styles. I’ve had the privilege of mentoring and collaborating with families and educators around the world. I spent ten years consulting for the SelfDesign® Learning Community and Global programs where I crafted individualized curriculum, guided reflective communication and linked people to academic and community resources. This relationship-rich work was rewarding and profoundly shaped my view of what education can be.

I am advocate for children and their nature. Children need to move, need to play, need to be outside. I started the Free Forest School in Houston when my son was two. Its success was gratifying, and demonstrated the power of place-based education. This was an incredible learning experience for me. I hold a Masters degree in Designing Learning Communities and I know what is possible when people come together around a common vision and values.
