Educational Leader with experiences focused on Middle Grades Education. My experiences consist of ten years as a Middle School Science Educator, three years as a Middle School Assistant Principal, and currently in my first year as a Middle School Principal. I have a wide variety of experiences between the three positions within my nearly 14 years in education, coupled with my educational back ground in educational leadership. Additionally, I am finishing my final year of my Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership, working on my dissertation with a focus on Assistant Principal Professional Development Needs that will best prepare them for the Principalship.
