What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my leadership skills in a dynamic educational environment, focusing on staff development and curriculum innovation.

As a dedicated educational leader, I have spent over a decade cultivating environments where children thrive and educators excel. Currently, I serve as the Chief Executive Officer at God’s Brand Christian Academy, where I develop comprehensive policies, oversee curriculum implementation, and ensure compliance with educational standards. My commitment to fostering positive relationships with families and staff has been instrumental in creating a nurturing atmosphere for learning.

My educational background includes a Doctorate of Education in Organizational Leadership with a focus on Emerging Technologies, alongside a Master’s in Early Childhood Education. This academic foundation, combined with my hands-on experience in various leadership roles, equips me to drive impactful changes in educational settings. I am passionate about developing quality staff through ongoing training and support, ensuring that every child receives the best possible education.
