As an administrator at a vibrant TDSB high school, I am building on my past work and leadership in student services, student success, building commmunity partnerships and developing critical consciousness, implementing Restorative Practices as an alternative to punitive methods of discipline, with the long term goal of expanding RP system-wide. In the last three years I have enjoyed successfully improving our wonderful school with a focus on implementing equitable teaching practices, initiating new caring and safe schools programs, and providing a stable and reliable system of leadership. Supporting student and parental voice and leadership on an ongoing basis has given me the opportunity to engage and expand school initiatives within the community. During the past two decades, I have had the pleasure to work in a variety of leadership roles in some of the TDSB's most marginalized communities, prompting me to further educate myself by specializing in Special Education, Student Services, Restorative Practices, as well as administration. These experiences have shown me the larger impact I can make as a board leader, leading me to the current administration service pathway. I look forward to growing from new experiences and welcome all opportunities to serve our students, families and community.
