What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles leading curriculum and instructional strategy where I can scale equity-driven systems, coach leaders, and drive measurable student achievement.

I am a strategic educational executive with 20+ years designing instructional systems, leading culturally responsive pedagogy, and coaching K–12 school leaders to improve student outcomes. I build sustainable frameworks that align curriculum, assessment, and professional learning to advance equity and proficiency.

My work has driven measurable gains — including increases of up to 35% in K–5 math proficiency and widespread instructional improvement through MTSS, targeted interventions, and data-informed strategy cycles. I lead cross-functional teams, design evidence-based professional development, and scale initiatives that strengthen teacher effectiveness and student achievement.

I hold an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership and maintain active state certifications in administration and mathematics. I seek roles where I can partner with school and district leaders to operationalize equitable systems, grow instructional capacity, and steward continuous improvement at scale.
