    Barbara has been committed to quality education in the greater Palo Alto community since moving to Stanford with her family from New York in 1997. She began as a Palo Alto classroom teacher and was invited to serve as a district-wide math specialist. She developed programs targeted for students above and below grade level, in both math and reading, with notable success in improved test scores and student engagement. 

    In 2007, Barbara was elected to the Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD) board of trustees. She spearheaded an awards committee that identified the top replicable, sustainable best practices in public education in Santa Clara County. Her efforts began to turn primarily towards closing the longstanding achievement gap between students from low versus mid/high-income households in PAUSD, as reflected in dramatically poor achievement levels among students identified as from low-income, Hispanic households. 

    In 2014, Barbara stepped in as the Executive Director of the nonprofit DreamCatchers, transforming the organization from a Stanford student-led volunteer after-school tutoring program for PAUSD middle school students from low-income households to a community-based, fully funded program led by education professionals with close ties to the Palo Alto schools and overall community.
