Finding the right school doesn’t have to be overwhleming.
I help parents make confident, informed decisions about where their child will thrive.
Neena founded Hayward Collegiate and now consults with the Golden State Warriors’ Impact Team but her true strength lies in her network. She has spent years building and maintaining trusted relationships across the education ecosystem, from classroom teachers to counselors, school founders to major education funders.
As a school leader backed by NewSchools Venture Fund, Charter School Growth Fund, and Silicon Schools, Neena developed a rare, 360-degree view of how schools actually work and who influences them. She knows how schools operate, what pressures leaders face, and who is investing in them and why.
Those long-standing relationships give her an unfiltered read on what truly matters: how children are taught day to day, how leaders lead, and how school cultures evolve over time.
Today, Neena helps parents cut through the noise and see schools as they really are so they can choose with clarity, confidence, and calm.
