Teachers serve multiple roles, and to prepare my students for a successful and rewarding future, I enjoy fostering their behavioral and social skills as well. In time, and in a space that encourages and accepts honesty, my students learn that by working their hardest and reflecting upon their experiences, they surpass their individualized goals. In terms of significant events beyond my duties as a teacher and administrator, some are listed below:

• Project Based Learning specialist and coach for Stanford University’s Center for Opportunity Policy in Education, CTA, and NBRC’s Instructional Leadership Corps.
• 8th Grade class invited to showcase the PBL, “Social Justice: Be the Change,” at a school board meeting.
• Co-Author of the Gold Ribbon Award application that resulted in three wins.
• 13% increase in district and state assessment scores.
• Produced two Career Fairs with over 40 professionals, 40 volunteers, and 450 students and parents in attendance. Keynote speakers have been mayors and VP’s of LinkedIn and Tesla.
