I have a passion for education and helping students. I believe that schools should be a refuge of love, fun, and new and challenging opportunities. It is very exciting that our Division is embracing innovation, deeper learning, restorative practices, and a focus on growth over proficiency. I am interested in supporting these initiatives in order to help move our Division forward.

As the Dean of Students at BFMS, I have grown as an administrator by gaining invaluable experiences in addressing discipline concerns in a way that supports students, families, and staff. I assisted in the development of a Deeper Learning Walk Through Form and participated in the observation and evaluation of instructional staff. I have enhanced professional development opportunities at the middle school through the planning and delivering of numerous book studies, blended learning experiences, Twitter chats, presentations, Trauma Informed Schools training, and leading a Restorative Practices Pilot Group. I support teachers and administrators in analyzing student data to plan for interventions to improve the academic and social/emotional skills of students.
