Professional Learning
& Leadership Development

Empowering Educators.
Elevating Leadership.
Driving Success.

I believe in providing meaningful professional learning opportunities for all staff. For 17 years, I have led professional development at both the building and district levels, delivering training within my leadership roles and as a speaker, presenter, and consultant at conferences, in courses, and for districts. My approach is grounded in collaboration, practical application, and research-based best practices, ensuring that every session leads to immediate and lasting impact. These experiences highlight my ability to influence policy, pedagogy, curriculum, and practice. Most importantly, they show an ability to take action that drives real improvements in student (and teacher) outcomes.
