Spearheading instructional program design / assessment, curriculum development, grant and funding initiatives, staff training and leadership, school administration, technology application, state and federal compliance, and data / best practice analyses to drive academic programs and sustain positive change.

Soliciting $450K in grants and private funding to drive the formulation of a school-wide literacy plan to support students with underperforming reading and writing skills.

Elevated parent engagement and involvement through student-led conferences, call-a-thons, and parent nights.

Achieved a 92% average retention rate for staff, teachers, and returning students.

Earning a reputation as a student-focused, dynamic leader committed to the academic, social, and intellectual wellbeing of the school community.

My skills in academic operational oversight and directional leadership—along with my expertise in curriculum development and teaching—have been finely honed, and I am confident my strengths will render me an immediate asset to John Muir Academy. The chance to offer more insight into my qualifications would be most welcome.

Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to speaking with you soon.
