About me
My work has focused on helping private school leaders navigate complex operational and leadership decisions, particularly during periods of change.I have spent years working across private schools, with deep experience in enrollment, finance, operations, governance, and mission-critical systems.I bring this orientation and experience to the questions of AI.
I regularly reflect on AI and leadership in schools and share my thinking on LinkedIn. Below is a small selection of recent pieces.
AI Literacy vs. AI Fluency in Action A narrative case study that begins with a Head of School reflecting on mission alignment, followed by companion pieces examining how enrollment leadership and the CFO use AI to validate assumptions and model strategic tradeoffs.
Why AI Literacy Must Come Before AI Fluency An argument for why schools struggle when they jump straight to tools, and why shared AI literacy is a prerequisite for meaningful, responsible use.
Why Chasing AI Tools Is the Wrong Strategy for School Leaders A reflection on why keeping up with AI tools is unsustainable for school administrators, and why leadership clarity matters more than constant experimentation.
