Envision is a k-8 public charter school with a focus on STEAM education taught through the lens of project based learning. I was named principal at the beginning of the second year of the start of the school. We were originally located in a temporary facility in Raleigh, eventually expanding to two locations, on housing the elementary grades and the other, located near Wake Forest, housing our middle grades. I was afforded the wonderful opportunity to be very involved in the design process for our new facility, which is located just off of HWY 98 in Wake Forest, NC. This was a truly invigorating and personally educational experience. and am very grateful to the Envision Board of Directors for the opportunity. Envision has wonderful students, staff, parents and community partners. I am very thankful to be a part of this school.

Worked with all middle and high schools in Franklin County Schools in the area of curriculum and instruction. Additionally, duties included curriculum resource coaches, county athletic director, oversight of ESL/Title II, started translator program, and oversaw the Teacher of the Year selection process among other responsibilities.

Carried out all duties as principal of the school. During this time the academic progress of the school steadily increased during a time in which the school enrollment of the school also increased from just under 600 to just over 1000 students. 2011-12 School of Distinction – High Growth – Met all AMOs 2010-11 School of Distinction – High Growth 2009-10 School of Distinction – Expected Growth 2008-09 School of Progress – Expected Growth 2006-07 School of Progress – Expected Growth 2005-06 School of Progress – High Growth – Met AYP 2004-05 School of Progress – Expected Growth – Met AYP 2003-04 School of Progress – High GrowthAdditionally, oversaw the transition from the original facility (constructed in 1923) into a new state of the art facility which opened in August 2011.
