About me

I design and run our year round auxiliary programming for girls and women which includes summer programs on our campus at Miss Porter's as well as a virtual ChangeMaker's Institute, virtual and in-person Porter's LEADS workshops and our virtual Global Seminar Series. Programming is for girls and women everywhere not just for MPS students.
