What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead a school or district team where I can apply data-driven systems to strengthen culture, deliver instructional excellence, and drive measurable student gains through collaborative stakeholder engagement.

I’m a dynamic educational leader focused on elevating student outcomes through data-driven systems and strategic initiatives. I’m known for transforming school culture, orchestrating instructional excellence, and mobilizing stakeholder engagement to improve results.

As an Assistant Principal, I engineered a school-wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) system that reduced disciplinary referrals by 30%. I also revolutionized attendance tracking through a custom office hour system, boosting attendance by 15%, while spearheading parent engagement and culture-building celebrations.

As an Academic Dean, I led a rapid academic turnaround, elevating a campus rating from F to C within a single year. I crafted an innovative professional learning community (PLC) protocol that empowered departments to analyze data, implement targeted interventions, and improved instructional effectiveness metrics by 40% through mentoring and support.

Earlier in my career, I served as a teacher and instructional coach, advancing ELAR coaching, curriculum writing, and department leadership. I supported 100% STAAR compliance with 22% proficiency improvement, guided award-winning student publications, and I’m currently pursuing an M.Ed. in Educational Leadership (expected December 2027).
