Cognitive: I strongly believe in my ability to learn due to my approach of viewing change as an opportunity to apply my skills and experiences to new contexts and to develop and grow. My involvement in a variety of educational settings and roles has contributed to my capacity to understand and manage meaningful change on a large scale under complex circumstances. I have taught FSL, and Special Education in elementary and, english, math, computer studies, and business courses in secondary. I also coordinated a program for 60 at-risk students seeking credits for their secondary school diploma. I have been an educational technology consultant in post secondary and K-12 institutions. I coordinated the elementary skills challenge for 700 students, and implemented a Board-wide implementation of Chromebooks & Google Suite for Edu, as the District Lead for our Technology Learning Fund projects. Through the process of articulating goals, interpreting problems and generating creative solutions, I have developed the foresight to help engage our system leaders in considering the implications of our initiatives on program delivery.

Social: Building relationships with staff, students, parents/ guardians and community partners is a key focus of my leadership responsibilities. These connections are essential for discerning the expectations of others, appreciating their points of view, finding common ground among competing interests and creating a sense of shared purpose among the school community. Being mindful of my personal experiences and interactions through the practice of contemplation is a beneficial strategy for managing my emotional responses to ensure that I accurately perceive my feelings and assess the merits and interests of others to make decisions that are measured and build a coalition of common understanding of the proposed solution.

Psychological: Taking the time to engage in quiet meditation helps me to reduce the impact of the distractions and busyness in my life so I can more fully appreciate my blessings. This approach assists me to focus on priorities that are important and meaningful and equips me to be more resilient in adjusting to misfortune, by helping me to put things in their proper perspective. The positive mindset that results from embracing this practice, leads me to discover new ideas, diverse responses and strengthened relationships which are essential in order to foster innovative practices. Students and staff can also be provided with training in mindfulness and an opportunity to practice during class time, which would be especially helpful during high-stress times such as standardized testing and transitioning from periods of rigorous activity (i.e. recess or physical education).
