Summary
Experienced and enthusiastic educator with 11 years of experience engaging student and educator audiences and 6 years of leadership experience managing staff of 90+ employees. I have strong organizational skills as evidenced by managing the responsibilities of not only an Assistant Principal but the many hats I carried with it. I created and implemented a staff calendar and managed not only the school wide parent events but also every staff meeting, student support meeting, testing date, etc. I coordinated with TCU, Texas Wesleyan, and other universities as part of their pre-service teacher programs and helped pair mentor teachers with each of their students. As a teacher, I mentored 3 different student teachers through the TechTeach program and all 3 became Teacher of the Year at each of their prospective campuses. I'm also a dedicated Graduate Assistant skilled in research offering 2 years of experience in professional development of pre-service teachers at Kansas State University.
