What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values educational equity, collaboration, and professional growth.

As an educational leader, I am dedicated to empowering educators and fostering inclusive learning environments. My experience as a Program Support Coordinator has equipped me with the skills to break down complex tasks into actionable steps, ensuring that staff understand their roles and achieve success. I am committed to advocating for historically marginalized students while ensuring compliance with educational policies and best practices.

Throughout my career, I have led initiatives that drive collaboration and student-centered outcomes. Notably, I led the Disproportionality Task Force, where we conducted root cause analysis to improve services for 42% of students. My focus on professional development has resulted in improved IEP compliance and the implementation of effective systems that support both educators and students.

With a Master of Science in Conflict Resolution and a strong background in special education, I am passionate about creating positive school climates and fostering a sense of belonging for all students. I believe in the power of strong relationships and continuous growth, and I am eager to contribute my expertise to a forward-thinking educational institution.
