Every school tells a story — and I’ve spent my career rewriting the endings. For the last 20+ years, I’ve led schools through founding, turnaround, and flagship leadership. I’ve coached emerging leaders, built sustainable systems, and aligned teams to a bigger mission: ensuring every scholar, every team member, and every community has a real path to excellence.I didn’t start my career aiming for titles. I started aiming for impact—and I still am.

The Values That Drive Me

  • High Standards – Excellence is non-negotiable.

  • Deep Strategy – Every move should be intentional.

  • Equity by Design – Not a project. A principle.

  • Coaching with Clarity – Leadership is grown, not assigned.​​​​​

What's Next

I’m not just looking to lead another building. I’m ready to shape the systems that drive entire districts. As an executive leader, I bring the heart of a coach, the mind of a strategist, and the urgency of a builder—ready to create sustainable change at scale.
