As an educator, curriculum developer, leader, speaker, and writer, I have advocated for students and families for over twenty years as a public school teacher and pastor. My strengths lie in connection and strategic thinking, allowing me to lead collaboratively, compassionately, and strategically. I have envisioned and developed teams of leaders and volunteers. I excel at creating cultures of safety, purpose, and joy. I am a hopeful, transparent, inquisitive bridge builder.
