Upper School Liaison

I’m excited for my second year serving as the Upper School Liaison for the 2026–2027 school year. I was a class parent in previous years, and as a member of the PA Board I truly look forward to the opportunity to support our students and families in a more meaningful way. My daughter, Ja’hmali, is a rising 11th grader who joined Lacordaire as a freshman in 2024. 
She’s a proud member of the Laco volleyball team and has been actively involved in several clubs, including the Black Student Union, DECA, Tennis Club, and Medical Sciences Club. Her enthusiasm for school life has made our Lacordaire experience especially rewarding. Like many of you, we chose Lacordaire for its close-knit, family-friendly environment, and it’s been an excellent fit. Outside of school, Ja’hmali and I both love spending time at the beach. It’s our favorite way to relax and reconnect. I’m looking forward to a great year ahead, working alongside all of you to make Lacordaire an even better place for our kids to learn, grow, and thrive.
