Background
I understand the importance of education, integrity and collective responsibility in developing and preparing others. It is my personal mission to lead by example, positively influence others and create purposeful pathways for them as future leaders. I believe in the “village” philosophy and comprehensive approach through family involvement, academic improvement and community partnership. It is my intent to continue to design and implement programs that have the power to transform, cultivate and sustain greatness in our leaders as they move on to the next level.
Additional Information
I enjoy painting, creating jewelry and gardening.
