My goal three years from now is to become a professor that focuses on effective higher educational leadership practices and multicultural issues in educational leadership. Ten years from now, I desire to be on the Board of Education. In order for me to reach any of my goals, I must continue learning the different methods of quality leadership. Furthermore, it is my goal to help change the face of education by helping to narrow in today’s educational gaps. Most importantly, these gaps will not narrow in until prospective K-12 educators are provided with effective leadership tools and effective leadership strategies.

Research Interest:
During my graduate years at Michigan State University, my final research project for my EAD (Educational Administration) 822 course was centered on teacher-to-student racial gaps. I was intrigued by this issue because I wasn’t aware of the possible correlation between the achievement gap and teacher-to-student racial gaps. My goal is to look deeper into this matter and determine possible solutions for future K-12 teachers.
Why does this matter to me?
The achievement gap is an ongoing issue within K-12 educational environments. Furthermore, there’s been several studies on the best way to attack this issue. However, the achievement gap is still present. In my opinion, in order for the achievement gap to narrow in one must first address the issues that are occurring within educational leadership.
