What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to lead educational initiatives, foster collaboration, and promote student success in a supportive environment.

I am a passionate educational leader with a proven track record in guiding K1-2 classrooms and teachers towards success. My experience as an Academic Dean of Early Childhood has equipped me with the skills to provide strategic academic leadership, ensuring that our programs align with developmentally appropriate practices and licensing regulations. I am committed to fostering an inclusive educational environment that promotes the growth of all students and teachers.

Throughout my career, I have mentored early childhood educators, supporting their professional development and performance evaluations. I believe in the power of collaboration, working closely with cross-functional teams to create equitable learning environments. My focus on data-driven instructional decisions allows me to identify trends and implement targeted interventions, ensuring that every child receives the support they need to thrive.

With a strong background in curriculum development and a commitment to community engagement, I strive to build partnerships that strengthen home-school connections. My goal is to create a culture of reflective practice and continuous growth, ultimately leading to improved student outcomes and a thriving educational community.
