My educational career has afforded me many opportunities to take on leadership roles. I've worked as a Lead Literacy Teacher, Assistant Principal, City-wide Mentor Coach and Lead Instructional Coach. I've been privileged to coach teachers, helping them to develop their pedagogy, set goals and improve their overall practice.  My career has allowed me to broaden my perspective, and develop my educational philosophy. I believe all children can succeed given the proper guidance, resources and opportunities. Children are capable of rising above any set limitation and it's our job as educators to foster an environment that will support their growth, efforts and talents towards excellence.
