Who i am

With over 20 years of experience in education, I’ve dedicated my career to teaching, mentoring, and coaching educators and leaders. My passion is equipping schools with practical tools and strategies that drive student achievement, strengthen leadership, and ensure long-term organizational success.

What I Do

I partner with schools and organizations to build capacity in four key areas:

  • Instructional Leadership – Support leaders in deepening their practice, building coaching capacity, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

  • Professional Development – Translate research into practice through evidence-based training that leads to measurable classroom impact.

  • Enrollment & Advancement – Develop strategic enrollment plans, cultivate donor relationships, and design mission-driven campaigns that grow resources and strengthen communities.

  • Leadership Coaching – Help leaders create sustainable systems, routines, and mindsets that drive ongoing instructional excellence and organizational growth.

Why Work With Me

I bring both strategic insight and hands-on experience—having designed and led initiatives that align curriculum, strengthen teacher development, and build long-term sustainability. Whether guiding leadership teams, facilitating professional learning communities, or coaching individuals, my goal is to empower others to lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
