What is your day-to-day like? What are some current projects you are passionate about?
My days are mostly spent motivating my students and partnering with teenagers to set goals and dreams. The schools are a challenging workplace these days due to the teacher shortage. As a leader on campus, I’m tasked with filling in some of the gaps to help teachers collect and analyze student data to make informed curriculum and instruction decisions. I’m extremely passionate about exposing students to the world, opportunity, and their potential. I’m also committed to listening to my colleagues and collaborating on best practices. In my heart - a strong team is the most valuable piece to success.
How are you breaking glass ceilings/ and helping pave the way for more women in your industry?
The education world is mostly filled with women in all areas except for coaching and school leadership. Superintendents and principals are often men, and a lot of curriculum decisions are made by men or people who have limited classroom experience. I’m currently in my final year of graduate school, earning my masters in executive leadership. My plan is to use what I learn to improve schools - with both my own experience and by listening to the experiences of others.
What does being a "hot girl" mean to you?
To me, a “hot girl” is a woman committed to fighting for her passion while protecting her boundaries. In high school, the hot girls were the ones we thought were untouchable - and perhaps that’s still true. The difference, through maturity, is that the status doesn’t come from looks, but heart and ambition. The hottest girls I know are tenacious and resilient.
