About Me
Experience
I was the Athletic Director for St. Thomas Choir School in New York City, Academic Dean of the Vision Quest program (now closed) for adjudicated youth, an advisor, diversity representative, instructor and basketball coach at the Hotchkiss School and the Director of Academics for Student-Athletes at the University of San Francisco, working closely with the Men's and Women's Basketball teams.
Motivation
My passion for education and social sciences were motivated by my parents who were both physicians. Energized by their commitment to medicine and education, I sought to further develop and expand the concept of learning and service to fit my own lens and social location.
Action
At the University of San Francisco I was a strong advocate of the environmental science program and strongly encouraged student-athletes interested to follow their passion.
