United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m an education professional with more than 20 years of success leading instructional initiatives, implementing curriculum, and supporting diverse learners. I focus on improving student outcomes by partnering with educators, administrators, and families to move work forward with clarity and follow-through.
In my current role, I lead instructional initiatives aligned with district and state standards to improve student achievement. I develop and manage Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) while ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations, and I analyze student performance data to inform instructional decisions and monitor progress.
I’m energized by collaborative, solutions-oriented leadership—building productive relationships with families, colleagues, and community stakeholders while managing multiple priorities in fast-paced environments. I also bring strengths in strategic planning, professional development and training, project coordination, process improvement (including MTSS), and cross-functional collaboration.
