Professional Summary
Dedicated education professional willing to go the distance for student and school community success. While I have a professional license to teach Biology and related life sciences at the middle and high school level along with a Masters Degree in the Art of Teaching (Belmont University, 2015), I aspire to reach students on a deeper, more foundational level. My passion to positively impact the lives of those around me is apparent in the leadership and service that I have demonstrated for the vast majority of my adolescent and adult life. I believe that the Doctorate of Education program with a focus on Assessment, Learning, and School Improvement from Middle Tennessee State University will afford me the skills and opportunities to better myself, my school, and my entire community. My ideal position to obtain after earning this degree would likely be in administration that designs and oversees areas of academic skills progression, student assessment, and meeting the needs of students with diverse skills and abilities.
