She is a Miami native who chose to move back to Miami upon graduation from Boston College, where she received her BA in Communications and Spanish. She feels so fortunate to be a part of the RE community and is proud to be a part of the REconnect wave, which reminds our community regularly of all the connections each community member brings. Alumni, parents, parents of alumni, members of the professional community, trustees and former trustees all make up the fabric of RE and will forever be a part of the school and its future. A proud member of the RE Class of 1988, she is also the mother of Mia Williamson ’20 and Juliana Williamson ’22.
