My motivation to teach has always been rooted in connection—first as an older sister, then as a peer tutor, and now as an instructional leader. Over the years, that spark has grown into a deeply grounded purpose: to create environments where all students—and the adults who serve them—can thrive.

​

For over a decade, I taught middle school math and science with a commitment to making learning joyful, accessible, and meaningful. My classroom was a place where student voice, mathematical thinking, culturally responsive practices, and high expectations intersected. From incorporating Thinking Classrooms, CGI, and proficiency grading to mentoring new teachers and leading professional development, I’ve continually sought out ways to build systems that work better for everyone.

​​

Now, as a site administrator and instructional leader, I bring the same passion for equity, clarity, and empowerment to the adults I support. I’ve helped lead MTSS implementation, coached teachers through behavior systems and academic planning, and supported our school’s transition toward practices aligned with the Science of Reading and Necessary Conditions for Learning. I believe deeply in building adult capacity to impact student outcomes—especially in schools that serve diverse, multilingual, and high-needs communities.

​

My strengths lie in creating clarity, celebrating others, and improving systems collaboratively. I lead with empathy and integrity, drawing on my background in literacy, technology integration, and inclusive practices to support teachers and foster strong school cultures. Whether modeling how to co-construct classroom norms or coordinating family engagement events, I bring both warmth and structure to every effort.

​

I’m still that same person who gets excited to share a strategy that works, who tears up when students feel seen, and who believes this work is both urgent and beautiful. What I bring now is layered with experience—as a coach, a facilitator, and a leader who builds capacity with the long game in mind.
