Summary

Passionate and dedicated educator with eighteen years of educational knowledge and experience as an elementary teacher and Curriculum Instructional Specialist. I believe transformation occurs when you get the right people on your bus, the wrong people off your bus, and then figure out where to drive it. As a loyal and dedicated employee, I remain passionate in helping teachers and students with learning obstacles and academic goals. I have a history of improving teacher's content delivery and bringing an understanding of traditional and contemporary approaches, instructional strategies, and appropriate curriculum resources for student growth. Being highly experienced in collaborating with colleagues and supervisors, utilizing and applying data-driven instruction, and focusing on specifics to enhance the learning experience for students, I am the right person for your bus!
