I am a well-qualified, positive, and hardworking educational leader who possesses strong leadership and relationship-building skills. These skills have been exhibited in various MPS and public charter school settings as a teacher, assistant principal, academy director and currently as a principal.
As a result of my experience, I am adept at challenging students to reach their full potential by ensuring that every student is progressing and is held to high expectations.
My educational philosophy is in alignment with author Robert DuFour's quote,
"Don't tell me that all children can learn, tell me what you're doing about those that don't".
