Goals and interests
- Career goal
My future endeavors are to become an assistant principal first, then to go into a position as a principal at a Title 1 school that is in need of development of teachers and students in order to increase test scores along with an academically and socially safe environment conducive for superior education. My ultimate goal over years is to lead within central administration, working with staff development and possibly community/family involvement.
- Graduate school interests
I love research! My top interest in graduate school as well as now in post-graduate has always been searching for new research findings as well as pulling from innovation of my fellow colleagues within the program. I have learned a great deal over time from others, and I absolutely enjoy learning!
- Outside the classroom
I enjoy singing, dancing, reading, learning, and public speaking.
