With 16 years of experience in elementary education, I possess a wealth of knowledge and expertise in instructional leadership and staff development. I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in School Administration and a graduate certificate in Building Level Leadership to further expand my skills and stay up-to-date with the latest educational practices. My strength lies in analyzing student performance data, designing targeted interventions, and fostering professional learning communities. I am deeply passionate about creating a supportive and innovative learning environment that empowers every student to succeed.
