I have extensive experience with founding schools (preschool through high school) and with school leadership. I have coached more than three dozen school founders and educational organization leaders from across the country, and in charter schools, private schools, nonprofit and for-profit organizations, and traditional public schools. I am a former teacher, diversity coordinator, college professor, and founding school principal in PK-12 schools. In addition, I’m also Texas superintendent certified and a practicing marriage and family therapist. I have an extensive network across the country that is composed of funders, fellowship providers, people in facility finance and charter school support, community engagement experts, former superintendents, talent management leaders, and other founders. I specialize in diversity, talent management, leadership development, and organizational culture, identity development, recruitment, and mission alignment. I also have experience working with educational nonprofit and for-profit organizations focused on social justice, access, and diversity. My core beliefs in education are based on the ideas of diversity, equity, access, and rigor. In addition, I am a practicing marriage and family therapist. This work shows up in my work in the development of work/life balance and in the overall development and well-being of the organizations that I work with. Finally, I will complete a Master of Science degree in industrial & organizational psychology with specialization in evidence-based coaching in 2024.
