Meet the Staff

The Academic Deans work with students to help them understand how to achieve successful academic careers at Madeira. Functioning as resources in addition to teachers and the advisor, an Academic Dean can help students build study skills or set priorities. Students are encouraged to come in for a chat about her academic goals, her recent successes, or her academic needs.

“I love being part of a community in which we all learn, grow, and aim for personal best. I learn as much from the girls each day as they do from their teachers and books!”

“I love the way that The Madeira School helps girls to identify and achieve their personal best. As a result, Madeira girls are more likely to try activities they otherwise would not and find a level of success in all that they do.”

“I enjoy working at Madeira and I find this quote by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. is appropriate: ‘Find a job you like and you add 5 days to every week.’”
