I so enjoyed working with Pri during her time at The Bush School. She is a thoughtful educator, a skilled communicator, and strategic thinker. Her work helped to move our K-12 school forward on a host of core strategic areas including faculty professional development and support, DEIA, and experiential learning. She has made a marked impact on our community, and I know that she will do the same for any organization. I recommend her without reservation.

Pri is that very rare and wonderful combination of a visionary school leader and a full-hearted classroom teacher. She is at ease shaking hands in the boardroom as she is on the carpet with students. Working alongside Pri has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my 30-year career in education.

Every time I work with Pri, I know I can count on finding educational solutions rooted in best practice. She is a collaborative leader with a deep understanding of curriculum, people, and school systems. Pri is committed to building school environments that best support teaching and learning. She is adept at leading professional development, building curriculum and programming, and supporting organizational change.

Pri is an outstanding advocate, coach, and leader. She brings her many years of experience as a classroom teacher, division head, and early-career teacher trainer to her work and has a comprehensive approach to coaching and mentoring. Pri is one of the most thoughtful, passionate and engaging educators out there and her attention to detail mixed with strategic thinking makes her a highly effective mentor and coach. As a former colleague, I highly recommend working with Pri on your professional journey.

When I first started teaching, I was lucky to have Pri in the classroom next door. As a coworker with 20 years of experience already, she became an instant mentor. From classroom systems design, to unit and lesson plan development, to putting our heads together to figure out how to best support a struggling student, Pri was first a listener and then a keen observer. Her thoughtful responses and ideas were rooted in who I was as a teacher and built on my strengths. She was able to help me see for myself the areas where I could try something different or to shift my perspective. Now, many years later, even though she lives on the other side of the country, she is still the first friend I call to help me process a classroom challenge. The calls are filled with honest feedback and practical advice along with a lot of laughter!
