Heather believes that each child is a unique individual able to do their best learning in a holistic setting that is supportive academically, socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. As a learner's advocate, Heather works with compassion and an open listening ear to the students. At this incredibly impressionable age, learners hold limitless potential when they are empowered to take risks, experience success, make mistakes, and try again.
Prior to St. Mark's, Heather spent 6 years at Holy Spirit Episcopal School as a classroom teacher and eventually as Dean of Students. She was appointed Head of School at Wesley Academy in 2016 and served three years until Wesley merged with Ascension Episcopal School, where she served as Associate Head of School. In addition to having rich experience working with young people, in school, summer programs, and camps, she also worked here at St. Mark's on our extended programs team and served as a long term substitute in the classroom.
Heather holds a Bachelor of Science n Sociology and a Master of Education in Educational Leadership.
