Leadership

In Fall 2026 I will become a member of the Board of Directors for the Community of St. James, a nonprofit organization in North Philadelphia with four mission pillars: a 3rd-8th grade school; a Graduate Support division to help students after completing the school; a Church that welcomes all; and a resource hub for the neighborhood and community called the Welcome Table.

I have never seen an institution like the Community of St. James. It is a unique blend of forces geared toward helping kids in the North Philadelphia area, and as a North Philadelphia native, I’m honored to serve on this organization’s Board. I bring my higher education lens to the K-12 space, and so I will see what connections we can make between earlier education and long-term collegiate aspirations and success.
