  As an educationally-savvy captain, I've taken strategic plans from concept to reality, using data analysis and collaboration like secret weapons to improve student outcomes and nurture a positive school culture. I've taken our district and school websites from outdated to outstanding, increasing both accessibility and engagement. As the handler of the IT and instructional technology budgets, I've streamlined operations and optimized resource allocation. E-Rate funding? Secured! Cybersecurity measures? Fortified! I’ve championed a 1:1 Chromebook environment, guided our troops (staff) with resource training, revamped our rostering and SSO platforms, and ignited district-wide technology professional development initiatives. But my mission isn’t just limited to tech; I wear the hat of a School Safety Specialist as well. I’ve been on the frontlines, updating policies, streamlining procedures, and devising emergency management plans, all while leading dedicated teams and organizing training for behavior threat assessment squads. Armed with potent leadership, seamless communication, and solid team-building skills, I’m not just a participant in the success and growth of our educational institutions, but a key player.
