Greetings! I am an experienced education leader committed to creating inclusive, equitable learning environments that empower students, educators, and communities to thrive.

I create and manage interactive, engaging professional learning (asynchronous, synchronous, and hybrid) in collaboration with others as demonstrated with recognitions such as the CA Distinguished Schools award and 1 of 10 Most Promising Schools in CA. My achievements include expanding an organization from 2 programs to 8, developing learning programs, policies and practices, and improving program completion and accreditation status.

My approach is aimed at advancing an environment where employees can be their authentic selves and understand how their work contributes to the organization’s overarching goals.

Through instructional coaching and mentoring, I have helped people grow in their roles, leading to an increase in credentials and higher quality programs.In addition to managing multiple project timelines and budgets, I have experience in grant writing and data analysis. My top skills include:* systems thinking and management* instructional content design * virtual learning management* professional development * coaching/mentoring.
