Why is service on a Board important to you?
Hollywood Schoolhouse has enriched our family in so many ways. Board service allows our family to give back to the school and ensure its vitality so that future families may thrive and grow the way we have.
What drew you to HSH?
There are many, many reasons why we chose to send our children to Hollywood Schoolhouse. The child-first ethos permeating every aspect, the warmth and familiarity the faculty and staff show to the children (everyone really does know your name!), the pool.
I grew up in NYC where I attended both public and independent schools. My parent was an administrator at the independent high school I attended. I studied the history of science in college and then returned to NYC for four years where I worked full-time and pursued pre-medical studies at night. I attended medical school in Rochester, NY and completed my pediatrics residency at the Morgan-Stanley Children's Hospital of New York-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center. I moved to Los Angeles in 2013 to complete a fellowship in Pediatric Hospital Medicine at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. I moved from CHLA in 2020 to Guerin Children's at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and currently work as a board-certified pediatric hospitalist and the Associate Medical Director of the medicine-surgery unit. My scholarly interests include medical education and children with medical complexity. I have utilized my medical background as a member of the Hollywood Schoolhouse COVID-19 Task Force, Board of Trustees, and course director for the fourth through sixth grade Human Development curriculum.
