What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in K-12 education where I can drive equity-focused school improvement, lead staff development, and partner with community stakeholders to improve student outcomes.

I am a school administrator and educator with experience leading classrooms, coaching athletics, and directing daily school operations to foster safe, inclusive, and achievement-focused environments. I hold a Master of Education in Administration & Leadership and a Michigan Administrator Certificate, and I apply data-driven improvement planning, community engagement, and equity-focused practices to advance student outcomes.

I have taught secondary social studies, designed standards-aligned digital curriculum, and served as interim principal/dean overseeing discipline, attendance initiatives, and professional development. As a coach and mentor, I develop teams and student-athletes, and I collaborate with families and stakeholders to build supportive school cultures.
