I am experienced in applying leadership theory and skills to facilitate stakeholder collaboration toward aligning and achieving organizational operational, tactical, and strategic goals. I rely on my understanding of business competencies, my experience serving in the Army, and the lessons learned from over two decades as an educator to make sound organizational decisions that benefit key stakeholders. I can effectively use both quantitative and qualitative data in the context of an organizational gap analysis to facilitate positive organizational change. I am skilled in both applied and action research. I have supported dozens of individuals and companies with curriculum design, instructional lessons, and designing eLearning experiences for students and employees. I am trained in specific curriculum models such as UDL, UbD, PBL, Taba, and Tyler. I am also trained in Kirkpatrick’s 4 Levels of Training Evaluation. Regarding instructional models, I am most familiar with ADDIE, SAM, and Gagne’s 9 Events of Instruction. I am familiar with a wide range of LMS. Supporting my training and experience with all the above is a deep understanding of various learning theories and how they can be adapted and implemented to support targeted learning outcomes. In addition to the work above, I enjoy ghostwriting blogs (SEO trained) and editing documents and manuals. For me, the intellectual exercise is gratifying. I pay attention to detail and always seek to understand the target audience and vision of those I collaborate with. I would be more than happy to share examples of past and recent work. I would love to help you make your vision a reality.

My experience as an educator has led me to look for a role that will enable me to use what I have learned in my career as a teacher and educator as well as the work that I have done in DEI to support the inclusion and success of others. I have been an educator for over 25 years, and have experience working with students ranging from 3rd grade through the university level. Most of my work has been as an English/Social Studies teacher and a school leader. I have experience working in public and independent schools in both California and Massachusetts. The majority of my leadership experience has been at the secondary level as an Assistant Principal, Associate Head, or Curriculum Director, and has been focused on directing curricular programs and supporting teachers in developing instructional practices. My DEI training includes earning a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Certificate from Cornell University and a Equity and Diversity Certificate from the University of Minnesota. I also completed the SEED (Seeking Educational Equity and Diversity) training. I have also completed the ASCD Foundations of Fostering Equity in Schools Training. I have completed the Program for School Management and Leadership which is a joint program through the Harvard Graduate School of Education and the Harvard Business School, focused on school change. Most recently, I have earned a graduate certificate in Ethnic Studies from San Francisco State. I am experienced in developing and leading programs and training on identity, equity, belonging, inclusion, social justice and disability. I have led and served as a member of the diversity committees in schools for the last 5 years, designing, implementing, and assessing diversity and inclusion initiatives, I have also designed and implemented Response to Intervention, Restorative Justice, and Ethnic Studies Programs.

My experiences in education have been wide and diverse during my tenure as an educator; allowing me to garner a breadth of experience from involvement with many multi-cultural and socio-economic groups. Throughout my service in education, I have sought opportunities to advance the academic success and socio-emotional health of every student. It has been my good fortune to successfully work with students to help them meet their personal and academic goals, develop partnerships and positive relationships with our parents/guardians and communities, build leadership capacity in both credentialed and certificated staff, innovate programs that are aligned with our School Plan for Student Advancement (SPSA), teach and work with new teachers as an adjunct professor in the School of Education, welcome new teachers into the teaching profession as a California Teaching Assessment Performance (CalTPA I/II) assessor, and edify new teachers in utilizing effective strategies, building meaningful relationships, and using data to drive instruction in order to develop lessons with equity and appropriate levels of rigor and relevance. Additionally, I am currently working on new curriculum, through my work with Code.org, to develop lesson plans which feature Artificial Intelligence for grades 6-12 in English and History. My experiences have included site administration, service at the district office level, classroom teaching at the middle school level, teaching at the university level, as well as, being a CalTPA I/II reader. As a site administrator, I was able to advance student achievement through original, professional development focused on data analysis and how this information guides curriculum and differentiated practices. By writing successful grants, I was able to innovate mentorship programs in partnership with teachers, increase learning opportunities through the development of new Career Technical Education courses and increase AP level course offerings, and implement site research studies to better support student needs. Additionally, at the district level, I was the first Program Specialist of After-School programs. In this position, I successfully wrote a grant that awarded the ABC Unified School district 1.5 million dollars; this afforded me the opportunity to develop and oversee after-school intervention programs at 11 school sites. Moreover, during my service as the Program Specialist of Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) I was able to successfully submit the GATE Plan to the State of California that provided funding for the district, certify teachers at the elementary level to be GATE teachers, and developed the first GATE parent/community presentations throughout the district in order to support understanding of the GATE processes, how students qualify for GATE, and the GATE services available for students who were identified as Gifted and Talented in marginalized communities. Furthermore, as a middle and high school English teacher I served as a department chairperson and implemented personalized learning strategies to engage students in equitable, meaningful, and relevant learning. It has also been rewarding to work with potential teachers as an adjunct professor in the School of Education at the university level, as well as, a CalTPA I/II assessor. To support the work of our new teachers as they learn to be equitable, educational leaders continues to be awe inspiring. Additionally, to be given the opportunity to be an assessor of new teachers’ CalTPA submissions, as their final assessment before they become teachers, continues to fuel my positivity about the future of our students’ educational journeys. The academic and personal needs of each student, as well as, cultivating positive relationships to ensure student success have been my main areas of focus throughout my career in education. I will bring my communication and facilitation skills, organizational abilities, and my strength for developing effective and meaningful processes and student-focused curriculum to effectively meet your company's needs.
