Sally is a Child Psychologist at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital, where she provides clinical treatment, conducts assessments, and offers consultation to parents statewide using a telehealth model. Much of her work over the past decade has focused on meeting the specialized needs of low-income children, children involved in the child welfare system, and children of Spanish-speaking immigrant families. She is also trained in the basic sciences and holds a doctorate in Infectious Disease and Immunology from U.C. Berkeley, where she did research on virulence factors related to Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission. Her interest in education is partly borne out of her personal experience as the daughter and granddaughter of early childhood educators, as well as an enriching experience attending a burgeoning progressive independent school in Atlanta, GA that has since grown into a thriving institution.

She is a long-time EBI parent that sees a similar positive trajectory for the school, given the relevance of its mission to today’s world. In her role as a board member, she is focused on creating an environment that supports the unique traits and abilities of each child in attendance.
