What can I solve for you?

With deep and broad knowledge about technology, I advise clients on a range of issues in the ever-evolving area of education technology, including student data privacy and social media use. Additionally, I handle claims of harassment, discrimination and other personnel and employment related matters. This includes conducting personnel investigations.

What's it like to work with me?

Clients appreciate my personable, common-sense manner. As a deep thinker, I enjoy delving into complex information and connecting the puzzle pieces to provide solutions for those I represent. It’s my nature to be constantly prepared. I make it a habit to scan the horizon for nascent trends—and then I consider their potential impacts on public school organizations and any steps we should take to avoid trouble.
