Career Objective:

To positively impact the educational lives of students, staff members, and the community as an administrator in an elementary school setting.

Brief Narrative:

Driven to exemplify the following five essential components of a successful educational leader which include: a strength of thought and expression, an ability to create a “forward-thinking” approach for all, a trust in individual character strengths, an instillation of hunger and passion, and finally, an environment of shared visions. Establishing a proficiency in each and every one of these areas of leadership will help to ensure that a school and a community can achieve unlimited success in a rapidly changing world.

Core Values:

I believe that...

  • lifelong learning is essential for the individual and community to thrive;
  • everyone has equal intrinsic value;
  • trust is essential to sustaining successful relationships and to achieving results;
  • better decisions emerge when diverse perspectives are intentionally included in a collaborative process;
  • everyone benefits when cultural differences are acknowledged and understood, and individuals are treated respectfully and equitably; and
  • everyone can learn more.
