STUDENT SUCCESS AND RETENTION

Designed and led programs that improve student persistence, graduation, and academic success. 

This work translates directly to ensuring PSD students are supported, academically and emotionally from entry through graduation. 

OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

Oversaw a residential community of 500 students, balancing student wellbeing with building management and staff supervision. Coordinated with dining, facilities, custodial, and front desk services while managing crisis response and support services. 

This parallels the day-to-day realities of leading a school building, ensuring safe environments, strong services, and effective operations.

STUDENT CONDUCT AND ACCOUNTABILITY 

Administered student conduct processes, determining appropriate responses to behavioral concerns with a tiered discipline system. Balanced accountability and fairness, from warnings to expulsion, while maintaining transparent communication with families. 

This prepares me to review and guide student discipline processes that balance accountability with student support. 

SUPERVISION AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT 

Directly supervised staff at multiple levels, from student employees to executive directors, adapting leadership to different levels of experience and responsibility. 

Through these experiences I developed the ability to hold others accountable and support professional growth, skills directly relevant to the board’s responsibility to supervise the superintendent.
