Summary
I’m a math-loving curriculum nerd who thrives on turning chaos into clarity—especially when it comes to supporting teachers and students. From leading district-wide initiatives to designing remote learning systems that actually worked, I bring a mix of strategy, heart, and humor to everything I do. I believe great instruction starts with collaboration, innovation, and a deep belief that every student can succeed.
