I am an experienced educational leader skilled in improving P-12 school performance using evidence-based practices. While I make data driven decisions, I know there are students behind the numbers. I believe in the power of character education, establishing learning intentions, detailing success criteria, and providing relevance. Humans, at any age, learn and live at an optimal level when expectations are established and remain consistent. Words or phrases to describe myself: lead learner, cautiously optimistic, coachable coach, loyal, straightforward, team oriented, strategic, confident, and a good judge of character. Education Summary: Certified Secondary Principal with a Master of Education in Educational Leadership and Administration from Southeastern Oklahoma State University. Undergraduate degrees in both Education and Business Administration from Northeastern State University.
