As a dynamic educational leader, I add value by facilitating strong professional/executive development while equipping teams with the skills and expertise to achieve short- and long-term organizational goals. I am known for cultivating a learning culture dedicated to inclusive leadership and a sense of belonging that yields high levels of employee engagement, satisfaction, and retention. Additionally, I am highly skilled in assessing learning needs and defining plans/strategies to successfully develop both soft and hard skills among leaders and professionals.As Head of Schools within the KIPP Philadelphia Public Schools District, I serve as a member of the regional leadership team, shaping strategic direction and decision-making while optimizing the satisfaction and performance of 200+ team members. As part of this role, I coach and mentor leaders in identifying and correcting performance gaps during the school year in order to maximize academic outcomes. My work includes coordinating regular meetings, performance reviews, and observational studies to pinpoint areas for improvement while facilitating collaboration and knowledge sharing.Having mentored many principals and assistant principals in empowering teachers and administrative teams to drive student success, I was especially relied upon to help them navigate the challenges of COVID-19-related shutdowns, virtual learning, and hybrid classrooms. I kept morale high while handling questions and coordinating the logistics and operational aspects of school closures, return-to-work, and hybrid learning. Colleagues describe me as a driven, energetic, down-to-earth, dynamic, strategic, and managerial expert who can be relied on to offer superior operations that deliver effective results.
