I grew up in a military home and moved to a new school every year. I fell in love with education at a very young age when adults in my life recognized leadership potential and gave me opportunities to teach and coach younger students. My journey led me through 28 years in P-12 education as a teacher, teacher leader, and school and district administrator. This year I transitioned to a full faculty position in higher ed where I research and teach postgraduate students in the EDD program and the principal prep program.
