14 years transforming classrooms into communities. Now bringing that same energy — and a data-driven edge — to leadership, program management, and cross-functional teams.
For 14 years I taught English — and every single day was an exercise in leading without authority. I managed diverse stakeholders (students, parents, administrators, community members), designed systems that scaled, communicated complex ideas simply, and measured outcomes rigorously.
Now I'm taking those skills into the broader world. Whether it's building programs, leading cross-functional teams, or using data to drive decisions, the core competencies are the same — and I've been refining them for over a decade.
What sets me apart: I'm not just AI-curious. I actively build with it, analyze with it, and teach others to use it. Data fluency isn't a line on my resume — it's how I think.
Started a 14-year journey in education, developing curriculum, building student relationships, and refining instructional systems.
Implemented data-driven instructional models; began using benchmark assessments (EVAAS) to track and differentiate student growth across ability levels.
Early adopter of AI tools in the classroom — for feedback, differentiation, and workflow automation — well ahead of broader adoption in education.
Leveraging 14 years of team-building, stakeholder communication, and systems thinking to move into leadership, program management, and organizational roles.
Every skill below was earned in high-pressure, high-stakes environments — where the outcomes for real people depended on getting it right.
Led classrooms of 30+ diverse learners daily — setting vision, building culture, managing conflict, and driving toward shared goals without formal authority.
Designed, piloted, and iterated on instructional programs from scratch — managing timelines, stakeholder feedback loops, and continuous improvement cycles.
Partnered with administrators, special education teams, counselors, families, and community organizations — translating between groups with different languages and priorities.
Made complex ideas accessible — to students, parents, school boards, and peers. Equally comfortable in front of 30 people or in a one-on-one coaching conversation.
Continuously audited and refined systems — from lesson delivery to assessment pipelines — using data to identify bottlenecks and implement scalable solutions.
Built trust across competing interests and priorities. Managed expectations, delivered difficult feedback, and created buy-in for change from resistant audiences.

Try the live demo below. It uses a readability algorithm to analyze any text — the same logic educators use to match students to appropriate materials, and the same logic businesses use to assess content clarity.
Paste any text below to instantly see its reading level, complexity score, and grade equivalency — powered by Flesch-Kincaid readability analysis.
Used AI tools to generate differentiated reading materials at 3+ Lexile levels simultaneously — work that once took hours reduced to minutes.
Built interactive models (like this page) to communicate student growth to parents, administrators, and policymakers in an accessible format.
Automated repetitive administrative tasks — feedback generation, progress reporting, communication drafts — reclaiming time for high-value work.
Taught colleagues how to integrate AI tools ethically and effectively — navigating a resistant culture with patience and practical demonstrations.
Developed effective prompting strategies for curriculum design, feedback generation, and data analysis — from basic zero-shot to multi-step reasoning chains.
Reading is how I stay curious, stay sharp, and stay empathetic. These are a few books that have shaped how I think and lead.
Empathy at scale. Reading widely — across genres, cultures, and perspectives — is the best leadership training I've found.
Pattern recognition. Great books reveal the systems beneath the surface. I bring that systems-thinking to every challenge.
Communication clarity. Reading great writing makes you write better, speak better, and listen more carefully.
Intellectual humility. Every book reminds me how much I don't know — and how valuable that curiosity is in a team.
Always reading — currently open to recommendations. What are you reading?
Whether you're hiring for leadership, program management, or a role that needs someone who can communicate, build systems, and use AI fluently — let's talk.
