A Message From our Executive Director

I am excited to build upon the success that Cooperative Educational Services has attained as a trusted source of services, resources, and support for students, staff, superintendents, and districts in lower Fairfield County. Working with our team of exceptional educators and support staff, I am committed to ensuring that our organization continues to provide greater impact, agility, and relevance with the services we offer to students and staff throughout and beyond our region.

As a native of Connecticut, I began my career in education nearly three decades ago as a science teacher in Higganum, Conn. I have proudly taught physics and calculus to thousands of students, chaired a science department, served as an assistant principal in Westport, Conn., led Newtown High School in Sandy Hook, Conn., as its principal from 2008 to 2014, and most recently served as the superintendent of the Amity Regional School District in Woodbridge, Conn.

Thank you in advance for your support of our efforts to explore creative and innovative ways to advance the educational experiences of students and staff across the region. We are poised and eager to address the challenges of a changing educational landscape by expanding existing programs and developing new ones to stay ahead of your needs.
