With over eight years of experience in education, I have honed my skills in coaching, teaching, and leadership. As the Athletic Dean at the New Orleans Military & Maritime Academy, I have implemented new software systems, doubled the coaching staff, and updated the athletic budget to include new revenue sources. I also mentored new coaches, reinforced behavioral expectations of athletes, and created a Cadet-Athlete Handbook outlining athlete and parental expectations.Prior to my role as Athletic Dean, I served as a Social Studies Teacher and Athletic Coach at the same academy. In these roles, I implemented multimodal, standards-based, differentiated daily lessons to actively engage all students and integrated responsibility-centered discipline into daily practices to promote personal growth and encourage problem-solving. I collaborated with peers in vertical and lateral planning to create comprehensive thematic units of instruction with common assessments that were accessible to cadets with accommodations.In my previous role as a Social Studies Teacher at Grace King High School, I collaborated with peers to create standards-based formative and summative assessments and lessons that were accessible to all students. I also formed a framework for discussing current issues in an academic, dialectical mode at the high school level to encourage engagement and prevent demonization/ostracization of those with different opinions. I served as a stand-in Dean on many occasions ensuring campus safety and security by providing aid to the Assistant Principal responsible for discipline.My experience in education has taught me the value of leadership, communication, and teamwork. I am passionate about creating environments that foster academic and personal growth for students and athletes alike.
