My outgoing personality, relational capacity, organization skills, instructional background and relevant administration experience in education makes me a strong candidate for a Campus Principal. I have been a Texas Public Educator for the past 13 years under the leadership of several phenomenal individuals. I have had the opportunity to work as a Classroom Teacher, a Literacy Strategist an Assistant Principal, and an Academic Dean of Instruction. A former Principal spent time mentoring me and ultimately inspired me to become an administrator. I am thankful that I have had the opportunity to serve in multiple roles and obtain a wealth of knowledge to share with others.
