Bio

I am a fierce advocate for equity, especially in early childhood education, and I bring over two decades of experience in this area from the multiple perspectives of practice, research, and policy. I am currently the executive director of Tandem, Partners in Early Learning and this is my dream job: it offers me the opportunity to work with a diverse, talented team on the systemic challenges facing families with young children.

Before joining Tandem, I was a researcher with Digital Promise and SRI International, and I partnered with families and educators to develop early learning experiences, curriculum materials, and teacher professional development.

I have a PhD in Education from the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University and, perhaps more importantly, my work is shaped by my experiences as an immigrant, woman of color, and a member of a multi-racial family.
