What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my educational leadership skills while fostering student success and collaboration.

I am a passionate educator with over 20 years of experience in teaching and school administration. My journey began as a 6th-grade ESL teacher, where I developed a strong foundation in student engagement and curriculum development. Over the years, I have taken on various leadership roles, including Assistant Principal and Academic Coordinator, where I focused on enhancing student learning experiences and fostering a positive school culture.

At Salyards Middle School, I taught Spanish 1 & 2 and was an active member of the Blended Learning Book Study Team. I successfully integrated technology into my teaching practices, utilizing tools like Google Classroom and Quizizz to create an interactive learning environment. My commitment to professional development and collaboration with colleagues has allowed me to contribute significantly to curriculum planning and student recognition initiatives.

Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to supporting at-risk students and implementing programs that promote academic success. I believe in the power of education to transform lives and am eager to continue making a positive impact in the field of education.
