My career in education spans higher education, K–12, and early childhood, beginning with eight years as a college professor before spending three years as a K–12 substitute teacher and three years in the preschool classroom. This broad experience has given me a deep understanding of schools from every level and perspective. After transitioning into administration, I focused on building clear, consistent systems that supported both staff and families. Within my first 18 months as an administrator, enrollment doubled as a direct result of improved processes, communication, and organizational clarity. During this same time, staff retention increased by 90%, creating a stronger, more stable school culture. These outcomes reinforced my belief that clear processes and procedures are the foundation of successful, thriving schools.
