I spent 18 years in K-12 education, serving in various capacities. For the entire time, I was in the classroom, teaching subjects ranging from introductory computer science to pre-calculus and physics and mentoring first-year teachers. As the director of technology for 17 years. I was responsible for the purchase, installation, maintenance, and support of all technology, including managing a 300-user Google Apps for Education account. When I was an assistant principal, I handled all discipline issues, evaluated and documented staff performance and effectiveness, and conducted numerous in-services. I even spent 10 years coaching volleyball and track and served as athletic director for 1 year.
I have helped two schools go through the accreditation process, performed research and delivered a report for another to implement standards-based grading, and helped schools positively transition through substantive leadership changes. When a school identifies and adheres to its mission and vision, success will follow, and I have been fortunate to help schools in this endeavor.
