In addition to her longstanding interest in our school’s philosophy and mission, Jodi brings a thorough knowledge of Oak Grove School and the KFA and a rich and varied background in educational and nonprofit leadership in her role as Head of School. She has worked at Oak Grove since 2005 as the Director of Development and Operations and also served as Director of Development for the KFA. She knows our sister schools and Foundations well, having stayed at several of the Indian schools and having stayed and worked directly with Brockwood Park in England on fundraising.

Prior to joining Oak Grove School Jodi worked as Executive Director of Morgan Foundation, Founder and President of eMommy, Development Director and Community Educator at Girls Incorporated and Planned Parenthood, and as a Fundraising Consultant. Jodi‘s daughters Ruby (class of 2015) and Maddy (class of 2017) both attended Oak Grove through elementary, Junior High and High School. With both a strong background in administration, fundraising, operations, and working with students, as well as in Krishnamurti’s philosophical approach to life and education, Jodi is well prepared to lead Oak Grove School into the future.
