As the current Math and Computer Science Department Chair, Maggie has demonstrated exemplary leadership in curriculum development, faculty mentorship, and program innovation. With the addition of courses such as Financial Literacy, Data Science, and Advanced Statistics, she has moved the Math and Computer Science department curricula boldly forward. Her dedication to fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment for both students and faculty has taken Archer’s Math and Computer Science programs to the next level. Maggie has 15 years of experience teaching, leading, and presenting in her field.

With an impressive record of designing curriculum pathways and cultivating collaborative teaching environments, Maggie is ready to lead the Upper School with skill and a strong theory of practice. Her leadership is defined by a data-driven approach, and, for Maggie, one of the most important means of gathering data is by listening without bias or assumption. She meets people where they are and understands her responsibility to provide students and teachers with the tools and support they need to meet Archer’s high standards.
