What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation, collaboration, and growth within a forward-thinking organization.

I am a dynamic executive leader with a strong background in strategic planning, operational efficiency, and talent development across the education, technology, and non-profit sectors. I excel at leading high-performing teams, optimizing budgets, and driving data-driven decision-making to improve performance outcomes. My passion lies in leveraging technology and AI-driven solutions to enhance processes and organizational effectiveness.

Currently, I serve as Principal at Compass Rose Public Schools, where I lead strategic operational initiatives that enhance organizational performance and drive key performance improvements. I have successfully managed cross-functional teams, implemented data-driven instructional strategies that increased student achievement by 20%, and developed change management plans that improved staff retention and professional development programs.

Previously, I held roles such as Leader in Residence and Assistant Principal, where I spearheaded organizational development projects and managed budgeting and resource allocation to optimize instructional programs. My experience also includes co-developing AI-powered tools for lesson planning and enhancing teacher efficiency, showcasing my commitment to integrating technology in education.
