I am the executive director of information and evaluation for Santa Rosa City Schools.

I received a doctorate in Educational Studies from the University of Michigan where I was a predoctoral fellow in the IES training program in Causal Inference in Educational Policy Research (CIEPR). I was a postdoctoral research associate in education policy at the Annenberg Institute at Brown University.

Originally from Italy, I earned a bachelor of science in mathematics from the Università degli Studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia, and a master of arts in education and a teaching credential from California State University, Los Angeles. I also worked as an instructional coach and middle and high school mathematics teacher in Los Angeles and Lodi, California for five years.

I use the pronouns he, him, his.
