I am an enthusiastic professional educator and prospective administrator. Over the last ten years, I have been an educator. I thrive on making connections with students and staff, by understanding that each individual is vital to the entire school and education process. It is essential to show the value of each person who walks through the door. I have seen this in the various positions that I have held, both here in the US and serving in the Peace Corps in Thailand. I have a strong background in curriculum building and data analysis. I work and have worked, in various levels of Special Education—Middle and High School, and Alternative Programs. In some of those roles, I have written proposals with district-level staff. Additionally, my role in the Peace Corps developed my ability to coach/mentor teachers, refining that skill while obtaining my Master's degree.
