About

I am an experienced educational leader with a passion for creating innovative, inclusive, and impactful learning programs that drive individual and organizational success. Throughout my career, I have developed expertise in curriculum design, instructional leadership, and educational technology. As a PhD candidate in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, my academic focus aligns with my professional commitment to fostering equitable and engaging learning environments.

In my previous roles, I have led teams, managed projects, and designed a wide array of educational programs, from classroom training to e-learning modules and blended learning solutions. I am proud of my achievements, such as developing a literacy curriculum that led to 100% of students meeting their reading growth targets and spearheading personalized virtual learning programs for gifted students. My work as an Educational Consultant in New York City has allowed me to develop strategies for both early childhood and K-12 education, focusing on tailored learning experiences and social-emotional development.

I have a proven track record of managing complex projects, developing inclusive learning environments, and driving student success through data-driven strategies. I thrive in dynamic settings where I can lead teams, collaborate with stakeholders, and implement learning solutions that meet diverse needs. My goal is to continue leveraging my skills in learning and development to create programs that not only support growth but also foster a culture of continuous improvement and equity.
