My Experience: Merging Data with Vision
I am not just a parent; I am a pragmatist with a BSc in Applied Mathematics and over 20 years of experience in Capital Markets, Technology, and Product Management.
I've spent my career building products and managing complex systems to solve real-world problems. Now, I want to apply that same rigor to our school district.
- Future-Proofing Education: We are living in the age of AI and the dawn of Quantum Computing. The traditional "blueprint" for education is changing. I want to ensure Briarcliff isn't just "keeping up," but is actively preparing our students for the world they will actually inherit.
- Fiscal Responsibility: My background in mathematics and finance means I will dig into the numbers, ensuring every tax dollar delivers maximum ROI for our students.
My Priorities: Supporting Every Student
A modern district needs modern support systems. I am a fierce advocate for:
- Universal Pre-K (UPK): Smart use of NYS subsidies can give our youngest learners the start they deserve and keep Briarcliff competitive with surrounding districts.
- Universal Free Meals: I support securing state and federal funding to bring healthy, cost-free meals to all our students, just as other top-tier districts have done.
My Promise
My goal is simple: to ensure that the interests of all our schools (Elementary, Middle, and High), are balanced and supported. I promise to be a listener, a collaborator, and a champion for a school system that puts students first.
