What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my experience leading cross-functional teams, stakeholder communications, documentation, and end-to-end event and program logistics in a project-focused role.

I've led curriculum alignment, professional development, and large-scale district events at West High School, where I serve as an educator and Performing Arts Department Chair. As a member of the Standards-Based Learning Design Team, I collaborate on auditing, designing, and implementing agile strategies for district-wide curriculum alignment.

I manage stakeholder communications, event logistics, budgets, documentation, and community outreach while teaching Band, AP Music Theory, and Guitar. I also facilitate alignment workshops that improve instructional execution and team collaboration.

Earlier at Perry Tipler Middle School, I managed regional event logistics and helped evaluate and implement school-wide edtech tools as a product champion. I'm bringing a decade of cross-functional leadership and my Google Project Management Professional Certificate to project-focused work.
