In 2007, St. Louis Public School District offered me what would become the opportunity of a lifetime. Teaching is one of the most unique professions in that you are able to mold future generations and leave lasting impressions. Since my tenure began, I have served students and teachers in various capacities, including Mathematics Teacher, Testing Coordinator, Advanced Placement Coordinator, teacher mentor, and currently Academic Instructional Coach. With each year, I become even more committed to the fight for equitable access to education for all children. My daily work involves ongoing communication with teachers through observations & feedback, coaching cycles, and professional development. As an Instructional Coach, I not only support educators in their current role, I guide them on their journey to becoming leaders in education.
