Summary

A highly motivated and effective future school leader with more than 16 years' experience teaching students from kindergarten to 12th grade, with a wide range of academic, social/emotional, and behavioral needs. I have a strong desire for every student to be seen, heard, and challenged to become their very best selves. My goal is to make sure our students thrive once leaving high school by providing direct instruction and support in the areas of job exploration counseling, work-based learning experiences, postsecondary counseling, workplace readiness and self-advocacy. Every single one of our students has something wonderful to offer this world and it's my mission to make them see it, own it, and achieve it.
