What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead institutions where I can align budgets to instructional priorities, improve achievement and enrollment, deliver accreditation-ready compliance, and build inclusive, equity-driven cultures with data-informed operations.

I’m a Strategic Educational Leader with over 20 years of experience driving institutional excellence across K-12 private, charter, and public sectors. I specialize in capital allocation, budget management, and instructional leadership that directly connects resources to measurable outcomes.

In my current role as Director PK-12 (July 2023–Present), I oversee high-level school operations and ensure alignment between fiscal resources and educational outcomes. I manage comprehensive budgeting and income statements to optimize spend across departments, strengthening long-term financial sustainability while supporting signature Maker, Design, and Fine/Performing Arts programming.

Previously, as Senior Director (June 2022–July 2023), I led large-scale e-learning initiatives and instructional leadership across an international digital landscape. I also drove operations and budget management using Salesforce Lightning and Instructure Canvas, while facilitating leadership development to strengthen organizational growth.

Earlier leadership roles include High School Principal (Dec 2019–Jun 2022) and Principal (May 2018–Jun 2019), where I improved academic performance, climate, and compliance. I engineered a 20.1% increase in 3rd grade ELA and a 24% increase in 3rd grade Math GMAS scores, secured the school’s first AdvancED accreditation, increased CCRPI by 11 points, and administered Title I, Special Education, and SEL frameworks. Throughout, I’ve prioritized inclusive environments through equity initiatives and data-driven operational strategies—earning recognition such as District PTA’s Outstanding High School Principal (2021).
