About me
Welcome to the GreatSchools community! Tell us about yourself to start building your profile.
I''ve been involved in education and education issues for many years. My daughters are now 24 and 28 but when they were younger, I was involved every step of the way, from volunteering in the classroom to helping with the PTA, the local schools foundation and then I served 8 years on my local school board in Burlingame, CA. Now I am senior editor at GreatSchools and I write a lot of the content for our Web site and our email newsletters. I am passionate about trying to find ways to improve public education and making it a positive experience for all students.
