Because of National Boards, I teach with more purpose, more clarity, and more confidence and it is my passion to share this experience with every teacher that I know.

The Clinton Public School District truly has some of the best teachers in the world, and our children are impacted by them in a daily basis. We can easily believe the hard work, the struggles, the triumphs, the tears, the hard times and the good times are par for the course, but that's beyond selling this place short.

My grandfather was an administrator and coach for many years, and my mother is a teacher. I am grateful to be following in their footsteps of  service and showing up for others.

Over the years, I’ve discovered that building relationships with students is at the heart of everything I do. It’s not just about getting them where they need to be academically; it’s about creating an environment where they feel seen, safe, and connected.

After 22 years of coordinating search and rescue missions, managing emergency operations, and leading multi-agency security efforts, I’ve learned that leadership isn’t just about authority—it’s about connection.

Leadership is not about demanding that others go where you think that they should go; it’s about uplifting the vision of others to see they are capable of going farther than they ever believed, and recognizing most importantly that if we go together, we are stronger for it.

Growing up as a minority student was difficult for me without any strong role models who represented me. Representation is so important, especially at a young age. Representation in a general education classroom is vital because it builds my ESL students' confidence, exposes my remaining students to different cultures, and encourages them to learn to love and accept them.

When teachers foster positive, supportive connections with their students, they create a foundation for greater learning and engagement.
