Summary
As a bilingual, resourceful, and committed organizational leader to the continuous development of a collaborative, student-focused and professional school culture, I am motivated to nurture and improve relationships among faculty, students and administrators. My goal is to infuse versatility in leadership approaches to acquire active participation in collaborative activities. Personable parent connections, conflict resolution, and staff management are essential communication components that establish trust among colleagues and promotes an atmosphere of self-efficacy and leadership. I offer 20 years of educational experience - 9 years in the classroom, 5 years of district level coaching, and 6 years in administrative elementary site leadership.
Helping students focus on learning by maintaining safe environments and equipping teachers with successful classroom strategies promotes an engaging partnership that meets the needs of an effective learning cycle.
