Life-long learner focused on being a leader and a teacher, both to students and adults. Thirty years of teaching middle school and high school students, engaging as a leader in the school building and district, mentoring students and adults, and developing and implementing curriculum have allowed advancement and refinement of many skills. Application and reflection on these skills over time provide a highly qualified candidate for any position in education.
