PROFILE
I am a passionate, resourceful
school and district leader with
extensive experience in
professional development,
literacy, data-driven curriculum
design, instructional coaching, and
technology. I believe in investing
in people: developing teachers so
they have what they need to
teach and nurturing students so
they are eager to seize the
opportunity to learn.
AWARDS
I was selected as one of the
14 cohort members and awarded
a fully paid scholarship at NC
State University through the
NELA-affiliated Durham Principal
Leadership Academy (DPLA).
NELA is one of only five principal
preparation programs to be
recognized by UCEA as a top
program in the nation.
