Summary
Visionary and collaborative educational leader with over 20 years of TK–12 experience spanning classroom teaching, site administration, and district-level leadership. As a Program Specialist overseeing curriculum and instruction across 30 schools, I led initiatives in data analysis, assessment design, and instructional improvement. I bring deep expertise in CAASPP, CFAs, and benchmark systems, and I have consistently built capacity among teachers and administrators to use data to drive student achievement. I am well-versed in state and federal accountability requirements, LCAP development, and SPSA alignment. Committed to equity and continuous improvement, I foster systems that center student outcomes, family engagement, and compliance excellence.
