General Director
I’ve been lucky to be involved in international education for most of my career, including these last few years at Country Day School, where I am blessed to be the Director General. Before moving to Costa Rica, I worked as a Principal at The American School in Japan in Tokyo, and also worked at international schools in London and Cyprus, as a teacher and Principal. In the USA, I worked in California, North Carolina and Hawaii.

Secondary Principal
Before arriving at CDS as the High School Principal, I spent my entire educational career in private and independent school education in the United States. I am entering my 18th year in education, with 10 of those years being in administration after receiving my Masters in Education Leadership from Teachers College at Columbia University in 2008.
Primary Principal
I believe that it is important to provide students with hands-on learning experiences that push students to think creatively. The best way to learn is by asking questions, exploring, and creating. Providing students with rigorous and rich learning experiences ensures that every student is on track to reach high academic and social-emotional success!
