A passionately positive educator, I’ve been geeking out about how to create excellence in public schools for over 26 years. I am a former high school math teacher (AP Calculus and AP Statistics were my jam), curriculum resource specialist, middle school assistant principal, and elementary assistant principal and principal. Currently, I am the Chief Academic Officer at Northern Kentucky Cooperative for Educational Services (@NKCESKids1st) in Northern Kentucky. In addition to this, I am a Solution Tree Associate, working with schools across the country to create and nurture a PLC culture. Some of my favorite self-proclaimed titles along the way have included Believer-in-Chief, Lead Learner, Chief Storyteller, Head Culture Creator, and Chief Energy Officer.
I’m here to seek out and inspire the greatness in others, whether it was when I was teacher, my staff as a principal, my current team, or those in my #PLN. At my core is an unshakeable belief in education as the great equalizer.
An advocate of all things nerdy, I love all things leadership, positivity and digital tools that amplify school culture and student success. My crews include anyone who is ready to shake up the status quo. Together, we are brilliant, and I’m always striving to be remarkable for our students.
