They want more than a "slide builder." They want a strategic learning partner who unites instructional design, learner experience, business goals, and technology — and reliably drives projects from concept to completion. In addition, I bring deep experience across healthcare, life sciences, financial services, insurance, manufacturing, transportation, and government — including highly regulated, compliance-driven environments.

🔷 K–12 Education Executive | Charter & Public School Leader | Strategic Improvement | Curriculum/Instruction Expert | Professional Devel & Coaching Expert | Data Analysis Expert | Federal/State Compliance | EdTech Integrator | Operations 🔷 Strategic and mission-driven K–12 education executive with over 20 years of experience leading transformational initiatives across charter, public, and state education systems. Proven success in improving school performance, securing multimillion-dollar funding, implementing instructional technology, and developing equitable, high-impact programs that support student achievement and educator development. Adept in cross-functional leadership, data-informed decision-making, and building systems that foster sustainable academic growth and operational excellence. Passionate about empowering educators and driving innovation that leads to breakthrough student outcomes. Piedmont Classical High School relied on my leadership in operations, finance, and instructional support to maintain its mission of providing high-quality education. By managing budgets, benefits, HR, and instructional technology integration, I ensured the school’s operational success while supporting students and staff alike. With over seven years of experience at Piedmont, the focus has been on building strategic frameworks for professional development, federal and state compliance, and effective curriculum delivery. The organization prioritizes data-informed decision-making, enabling tailored solutions that meet the diverse needs of students, including AP learners and those requiring additional support. At the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, consultation and support were provided to several districts and their schools to support academic growth as measured through the State Accountability system. Support was provided through curriculum development, instructional adjustments, professional development, coaching of principals and teachers; schools were assessed for effectiveness via classroom observations, current information, data analysis, and the Superintendent was provided specific recommendations for improvement. Led a program that developed 450 teachers in the areas of action research and curriculum unit development. I served as the School Principal in two different districts for a total of 8 years. The first was Lauderdale Lakes Middle School, an inner city, majority-minority, high-poverty school in Broward County, Florida. The District is the sixth largest district in the US, with over 270,000 students from diverse backgrounds. I was directly responsible for the school's daily operations and managed a $6M balanced school budget with clean audits. Led staff hiring, evaluation, and retention. Collaborated with teacher leaders to develop effective instructional and curriculum programs, assessments, and staff development, coached and developed leadership skills of assistant principals resulting in 5 APs becoming principals. Improved the School Accountability Grade from an F to a B and maintained that grade. Used benchmark assessment data and and identified students that needed additional support. Increased the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Program participation by 150% in one year through specialized marketing efforts. Employed a PDSA cycle to continually monitor student mastery throughout the year. At Ferndale Middle School, I also served as the Principal, in an urban, highly diverse, and high-poverty school; the school has both affluent/middle-class families and lower SES families. I mentored Assistant Principals leading to 4 of the 6 to becoming Principals. I trained the teachers how to analyze achievement and growth data to identify strengths and areas of growth so as to utilize targeted & differentiated instruction for student support. Increased growth for over 60% of teachers, with 3 teacher “exceeding” growth and 88% “meeting” growth This was accomplished by establishing PLCs that focused on data analysis, sharing of effective instructional practices, and utilizing collaborative lessons to support diverse learners. Decreased out-of-school suspensions (OSS) through a district initiative targeting African American males which we implemented and called, “MYPRIDE,” a student mentorship program. These students improved their Math scores by 57% and Reading scores by 79%. I served also the Broward County Schools as a Staff Development coach by providing training on standards-based instruction, coaching of teachers, and collaboration with Principals to design programs for improvement in student achievement. Provided effective teaching in Chemistry and Physics for 14 years in Broward County, FL, the University School of Nova Southeastern University, and Savannah Chatham County Public School System. I also taught Earth Scienc, Physical Science, and Anatomy & Physiology.
