Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong commitment to advancing the professional growth of educators. As a school building leader, I was responsible for creating and delivering impactful professional development sessions throughout the academic year, covering a diverse range of topics.
My dedication to professional development dates back to my college years, where I held the position of Vice President of Professional Development for the international education honors society, Kappa Delta Pi. In this role, I honed my leadership and organizational skills while fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth among members. This experience solidified my passion for supporting educators in their professional journey.
