WHAT IS YOUR SCHOOL'S MISSION?
Mount de Sales Academy (est. 1876), an
independent Catholic school sponsored
and inspired by the Sisters of Mercy, is a
diverse college-preparatory community
of learners — students and teachers alike
— who are poised to discover, challenged
to innovate and motivated to serve.
IN FIVE YEARS: I will have five more
years of memories and adventures.
Since March 2020, I've become a home-
owner, cat mom, aunt, fiancée and wife.
At this point, I've surrendered my ability
to predict. I am not sure what's to come,
but I like my current direction and am
excited to see what's ahead.
WHAT ARE YOU MOST EXCITED ABOUT
RIGHT NOW IN OUR COMMUNITY?
Our direction. Macon isn't afraid of
change and growth. As someone who is
returning to Macon after 14 years away,
there is so much for me to discover
about who Macon is today.
WHAT IS THE BEST BUSINESS ADVICE
YOU EVER RECEIVED?
Good questions are better than good
advice. Good questions build relation-
ships, gather context, encourage reflec-
tion and more. Leaning into curiosity
has helped me get to where I am today.
