Q: What are your goals for PEER this year?

In the coming year, my primary goal is simple, but critical. I want to ensure PEER continues to successfully support the priority goals of MNPS. It is an exciting time for the MNPS-Vanderbilt partnership! In collaboration with PEER’s co-director at MNPS, Abbey Loehr, my goal is to build momentum and capacity to engage in collaborative and equity-driven research to ensure that every MNPS student thrives. 

Q: What is a fun fact about you?

I met Nelson Mandela when I was 21 in Oxford, England. It was an incredible, unexpected experience.
