I am an educator with a wide variety of experiences to draw upon. Some of my positions over the years include being an administrator, instructional coach, reading specialist, reading interventionist, behavior support teacher, and classroom teacher. I led professional learning for faculty and staff for students aged four years through high school, and I taught and worked alongside teachers for students aged four through to my Ph.D. peers. I am not only a learner in academia but also in my life experiences, loving each experience I had over the years that helped me learn and grow as a professional. One of the things I am most proud of is my work ethic. I go the extra mile for any position I take on. I am also proud of my ability to work alongside my colleagues to build collective efficacy and improve student outcomes.
