With over 10 years of experience in education, and more in the corporate setting, I am passionate about empowering others to achieve success. As an instructional coach, I work with a diverse team of educators, administrators and staff to provide professional development, feedback, and support on curriculum, assessment, and pedagogy. I also leverage my skills in management and account management to coordinate and oversee various projects and initiatives. I am currently pursuing my Masters in Educational Leadership at Emporia State University, where I am learning how to apply the latest research and best practices in educational leadership and instructional design to my current role. I value collaboration, innovation, and equity in education, and I strive to create a positive and inclusive learning environment for all.Experiences• Leadership Team• Team Lead – elementary and middle school• Coaching (sports)• Coaching (MTSS)• BTA - Behavioral Training Academy• OTLA - Opportunity Teacher Leader Academy• Corporate world administrative manager/trainer• NASA – Pre-service Teacher Institute trainee 2013• OEST - Outstanding Earth Science Teacher winner 2018, 2020• Seed to Stem Workshop• Shocker Mindstorms Judge• AVID teacher, AVID for Science, Building level coordinator• Project Based Learning Teacher• Building Committee• Family Engagement Chair• Kansas Strong Workshops• WSU Education majors discussion panelist 2015, 2021• District Task force – IUG, HGD, Scales, Math, Pilot curriculum for science• Mentor Teacher/Coach• Smart Suite Lumio Trained (on my own time)• Created special scales in the area of middle school science• Created Special education foundational scales for science• Created a year-long curriculum map (all subjects) for elementary• Kansastar Process Manager• Distinguished Classroom Teacher Nominee - middle school teacher and elementary Instructional Coach• Model Classroom - elementary• Presented workshops to teachers on multiple topics, including AVID strategies
