Alumni Support Coordinator

“The students at City Academy make my life more enjoyable and exciting. Hearing the questions they ask, the stories they tell, and the things give me hope for a better future.”

David first joined the City Academy team in 2021 as a practicum student, and became the Alumni Coordinator in 2022. He received his Bachelor of Psychology with a minor in Sociology from Northwestern University, before doing a year of AmeriCorps in Chicago. He then went back to school to get his Master’s of Social Work from The Brown School at Washington University. David is passionate about the field of education, and wants every student to be given the chance to uncover their passions, strengths, and goals.

In his free time, David enjoys trying new food spots around the city, going on hikes with his dog, or cheering on Boston sports teams.
