What I'm looking for
As an educational leader with over 20 years of experience, I am dedicated to creating positive, engaging, and high-rigor learning environments. My commitment to collaboration and academic excellence has enabled me to develop critical thinkers prepared to thrive as global citizens. At Aveson School of Leaders, I successfully led a team of 80 employees and 300 volunteers, implementing innovative programs that significantly improved student engagement and academic outcomes.
Throughout my career, I have designed and executed various educational initiatives, including a comprehensive S.T.E.A.M. program and a school-wide writing rigor initiative. My efforts have resulted in increased parent satisfaction and student attendance rates. I believe in fostering a culture of inclusivity and collaboration, integrating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) principles into curriculum and school culture, and ensuring that all students receive the support they need to succeed.
