EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES

2001 In 2001, I started my career at Whittier
Elementary School as a kindergarten teacher.
While there I developed a creative writing class for
5th graders and served as a double dutch coach.
My final position at Whittier was as an early
childhood special education teacher. That was a
humbling position and I knew I wanted to work
with older struggling readers, so I transitioned to
middle school.

2006 In 2006, I began working at DC Prep's
Edgewood middle school as a special
education teacher focused on literacy. I fell
in love with middle school and enjoyed the
high-paced achievement-driven culture at
Prep. While there I began working as a
mentor teacher coaching new teachers.

2007 In 2007, I taught my first course as an
adjunct professor at GWU. The course was
an introduction to special education and
the law for preservice teachers. In this
experience I found an interest leading
adult learning.

2009 In 2009, I transitioned into school
leadership at my alma mater (then Paul
JHS) to work as Director of Academics and
later Middle School Principal. It was an
honor to serve in the same place where I
was a student and give back to a
community that gave me so much.

2014 In 2014, I participated in the inaugural year of
Relay Graduate School of Education's Summer
Principal's Academy. This program allowed me
to learn from leaders across the country and
"practice" what it means to be an instructional
leader. This training significantly changed my
practice as a school leader.

2018 In 2018, I returned to DC Public
Schools to help a growing dual
language school, MacFarland Middle
School build strong systems to
improve school culture and student
achievement.
