Experience

I am a lifelong educator with experience spanning Pre-K through 1st year college students. I have a passion for ensuring students are strong readers and writers, as strong skills in those two areas will impact the students success in all other content areas. I've been an elementary teacher, a K-8 Academy Director, a school reform partner in a variety of districts/states, a Superintendent in a turnaround project with the Board of Education in Indiana and a Director of Educational Programming. Additionally, I am Faculty at University of Phoenix, facilitating online first year research writing classes. I have strong reading and writing skills, along with my communication skills, which has taken me far in my career. In order to be in leadership positions, one must be able to demonstrate executive functioning skills. This is an area that I focus on when working with students: the 4's: communication, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking.
