I grew up in Southern CA and moved to Tiburon with my husband and three children in 2013. Our children all currently attend the Reed Union School District at Reed (2nd grade), Bel Aire (4th grade) and Del Mar (6th grade). Both my husband and I attended public elementary school, and we feel so fortunate that our children are able to receive an exceptional public education at the Reed Schools.

Work Experience

I have spent my career as a researcher and a small business owner, and my job has always been to listen to key stakeholder objectives and to apply sound research and critical thinking to deliver actionable insights.

In 2005, I co-founded eVOC Insights, LLC a digital marketing research and consulting firm headquartered in San Francisco, CA. As CEO, I am responsible for all aspects of the business including managing client and partner relationships, directing sound research engagements, collaborating with consultant teams, and overseeing the daily operations of the firm. Prior to founding eVOC, I spent 5 years at Vividence Corporation (acquired by Keynote Systems) where I created and managed the custom and syndicated benchmarking businesses. I have deep expertise in data analytics and user interface design, having spent 20 years in the field.

My work experience has been invaluable for me as a Trustee during this unprecedented time, with ever changing guidelines and a myriad of stakeholder concerns.  I'm committed to data-driven decision making, collaboration, fiscal responsibility, and thoughtful communication to the parent and greater community. 

Education

I received my Bachelor of Arts from the University of Pennsylvania in International Relations, Communications and Political Science. As a senior at Penn I was a member of the Friar’s Senior Honors Society and I was Captain of the Penn Women’s Ski team.

For high school, I attended Villanova Preparatory School in Ojai, CA, where I played soccer, volleyball, softball and ran track. The summer after my Junior year, I was a Congressional Page in Washington, DC and as a graduating Senior, I received the Villanova Award for Excellence in Athletics. For primary school, I attended public elementary at Montecito Union School (K-6) and Cabrillo Middle School (7-8).

I have always been passionate about education and I have continued to take courses at Stanford University in Politics and Philosophy, through Stanford’s Continuing Education Studies. I am currently enrolled in Stanford’s Political Science courses: Election 2020: A Panoramic View of America’s Decisive Election (POL 57) and Technology and the 2020 Election: How Silicon Valley Technologies Impact our Elections and Shape our Democracy (POL 58).
