United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Universal Creighton Charter School, I lead and coach educators through structured 1:1s, performance reviews, professional development, and onboarding systems that strengthen communication and family engagement.
I manage complex student and family escalations, maintain a specialized student caseload, and provide thoughtful case support, academic planning, and high-touch guidance.
Previously, at KIPP Philadelphia Charter School and Birney Preparatory Charter School, I directed grade-level operations, coached colleagues, led training cycles, and facilitated school-wide programs that strengthened student readiness, confidence, and engagement.
I bring a data-informed, equity-centered approach to program improvement, workshop facilitation, mentorship, and high-stakes communication.
