I know how to help you lead, audaciously and effectively. I’ve been a founding school leader and grew our program to sustainability and liberatory-based success. I lived the work in schools since 2006 from the South Bronx to Northern California, not as a tourist, but as a resident in community who understands what this work actually entails. I know what transformational educational leadership looks like, sounds like, and feels like as a teacher and principal to serve communities through an equitable approach to teaching and learning. I’ve coached school system leaders, worked with district and state teams, led school board processes, and successfully navigated all reporting and accountability practices. I know the support that transformational leaders need to thrive so they can empower their teams to reimagine school and execute the how of liberatory school programs. I’m a student always, and recognize my teachers. I earned my BA in psychology from Columbia College and my MA from Teachers College both at Columbia University in New York City. For my Ed.D. in leadership and innovation from ASU’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, I studied how best to develop collective efficacy in liberatory educational settings through teacher storytelling within sustainable continuous improvement for equity systems.

Whether you’re trying to create systems, build accountable teams, launch a school, engage in liberatory practices, facilitate adult learning, take on an EdD, or support sustainable processes, I can help. Through my research and practice, I have studied and lived this work.
